A case of retinal vascular involvement in a 6-year-old patient with Covid-19.
Article in European journal of ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeThis study evaluated fundus changes in a 6-year-old child who contracted Sars-CoV-2 without developing symptoms of the disease. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe patient underwent a complete ophthalmic evaluation, which included assessment of visual acuity with and without correction, extensive ophthalmological examination, cicloplegic refraction by retinoscopy and funduscopic examination, OCT, and angio-OCT examination.
resultsFundoscopic examination in a young patient with previous Sars-CoV-2 infection showed marked vascular tortuosity, evident both at the posterior pole and retinal periphery, especially on the arterial vasculature, and cotton wool spots along the retinal vessels, highlightable also at OCT and angio-OCT examination. These alterations persist at a 6-month follow-up.
conclusionsIn COVID-19 infection, even in asymptomatic pediatric patients, vasculitis develops also affecting the retinal vessels, appreciable on fundus examination. A thorough eye examination in all COVID-19 patients with close follow-up is therefore important. This is the first case report on retinal changes in a pediatric patient.
