Acute Ischemic Stroke With Central Retinal Artery Occlusion as a Rare Presentation of COVID-19 Disease.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
In this report, we present a case where the patient developed a border-zone ischemic stroke with central retinal artery occlusion (RAO) following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease. The COVID-19 disease has been described to induce inflammatory changes that predispose to thrombotic disease in both venous and arterial circulation. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor expression in the blood vessel with which severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) binds is the cornerstone of inflammation although the pathogenesis of central RAO is multifactorial. The effects of COVID-19 inflammatory and pro-coagulant state on cerebral and retinal vascular systems are still inadequately understood. Combined presentation of central RAO with ischemic stroke has not been documented in the literature yet. As of now, no guidelines exist regarding treatment modalities to be employed in such instances. Hence, further research is warranted regarding the treatment of this condition with respect to the association with COVID-19.
