Fatal large-vessel cerebrovascular infarct presenting with severe coronavirus disease 2019 in a 39-year-old patient: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 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
backgroundEmerging reports are describing stroke in young, otherwise healthy patients with coronavirus disease 2019, consistent with the theory that some of the most serious complications of coronavirus disease 2019 are due to a systemic coagulopathy. However, the relevance of both the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 illness and established vascular risk factors in these younger patients is unknown, as reports are inconsistent. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we describe a 39-year-old white male, who died after presenting simultaneously with a malignant large-vessel cerebrovascular infarct and a critical coronavirus disease 2019 respiratory illness. Doppler ultrasound revealed evidence of carotid plaque thrombosis. Blood tests revealed evidence of undiagnosed diabetes mellitus; however, the patient was otherwise healthy, fit, and active.
conclusionsThis unique case highlights a possible interaction between established risk factors and large-vessel thrombosis in young patients with coronavirus disease 2019, and informs future research into the benefits of anticoagulation in these patients.
