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

This study includes three patients with various peripheral neuropathies after contracting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, treated both conservatively and surgically. While cases of neurological complications have been described, neuropathy associated with COVID-19 is under-reported in orthopaedic literature. These patients presented with ulnar neuropathy, critical care polyneuropathy (CCP) with anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) neuropathy, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) neuropathy. COVID-19 infection may be associated with peripheral neuropathy in addition to various neurological sequelae. Orthopaedic surgeons should screen patients for recent infections and evaluate the severity of the illness to assess for risk of neurological sequelae of COVID-19 infection.
