Acute Multiple Cerebral Watershed Infarctions as the Initial Presentation of COVID-19 in a Young Male Patient: A Case Report.
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
Cerebrovascular diseases appear to be one of the most serious complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this report, we present a case of a 38-year-old male with a past medical history significant only for hypertension, who presented to the emergency department (ED) with confusion and multiple focal neurologic deficits. Brain imaging showed acute multiple cerebral watershed infarctions. Upon further investigation and laboratory workup, the hypercoagulability and vasculitis panels were found to be negative, and other differential diagnoses were ruled out. In light of a number of emerging reports of COVID-19-related ischemic stroke, our patient was also screened for the disease, and surprisingly the test came back positive. We believe this case report will highlight the importance of conducting neurological examinations in COVID-19 patients, since timely workup and prompt interventions may reduce morbidity and mortality.
