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
The increased risk for thromboembolism in hospitalized COVID-19 patients has been communicated extensively. The fact that home quarantined patients can develop pulmonary embolism, however, has so far not been reported. Furthermore, attention should be brought to psychotic developments in COVID-19 patients. We report a 46-year-old previously healthy patient with a mild course of COVID-19, who developed a massive pulmonary embolism with right heart strain while being home quarantined. He was hospitalized and anticoagulant therapy was started. Nine days after admission, the patient appeared increasingly psychotic and suffered from hallucinations as well as paranoid thoughts. After treatment with risperidone and valproate, the patient's condition improved. At a follow-up 1 month after discharge, he was completely recovered regarding the respiratory, cardiac, and psychic situation. SARS-CoV-2 infection can not only increase the prevalence of thromboembolism in hospitalized patients but also in outpatients. COVID-19 also increases the risk of developing psychiatric reactions.
