A Case Report of Severe Hyponatremia Secondary to Coronavirus Disease 2019 Viral Pneumonia.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
As of December 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in 82.2 million cases worldwide. We report the case of a 69-year-old South Asian female with a history of hypertension, hypothyroidism, meningiomatosis, and urinary incontinence who contracted COVID-19 and developed severe hyponatremia. She was initially medically managed with antibiotics, anti-parasitics, anti-coagulants, and steroids. After experiencing breathlessness, chest discomfort, high systolic blood pressure, and tachycardia, she was admitted and diagnosed with post-COVID pneumonia, and was conservatively treated with steroids. She showed improvement, and was discharged upon being declared hemodynamically stable. While the patient was at home, she experienced periods of breathlessness and acral edema. This case raises the question of the correlation between hyponatremia and COVID-19, especially in regards to symptomatic presentations, including altered mental status, headache, and nausea. As there are limited studies that show severe electrolyte disorders leading to mortality, more research is needed to understand hyponatremia in cases with COVID-19.
