1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) is an RNA virus, which is a strain of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-related CoronaVirus (SARSr-CoV), of Coronavirus family. On 31 December 2019, a cluster of cases of unknown pneumonia in Wuhan-China was reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) that subsequently spreading as coronavirus disease 2019-(COVID-19) pandemic worldwide. On 12 January 2020, novel SARS-COV-2 was declared the cause of COVID-19 from the initial analysis of the virus genetic sequences obtained from lower respiratory tract specimen of 41 patients admitted to a designated hospital in Wuhan. The classical COVID-19 presentation is respiratory symptoms. Neuroradiological findings were reported. Our aim is to document neurological complication of COVID-19. We observed confirmed 23 COVID-19 patients presented with severe neurological symptoms. Brain-MRI showed predominately; cerebrovascular thromboembolism-related acute infarcts, autoimmune-meningoencephalitis, Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)-like white matter lesions.

conclusionDifferent neurological presentations are associated with COVID-19, necessitating further studies to clarify the mechanism of its CNS involvement.
