Incidental Finding of Bilateral Acute Pulmonary Emboli in a Patient With Asymptomatic COVID-19 Infection.
Article in Cureus, 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
A 58-year-old male with a history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, osteoarthritis of both knees, and morbid obesity presented to the emergency department for opioid detoxification. He complained of generalized soreness, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping but denied signs and symptoms suggestive of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. His COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) result came back positive, and his D-dimer level was 5373 ng/mL. A computed tomography pulmonary angiogram showed a moderate burden of bilateral acute pulmonary emboli. He was managed with enoxaparin sodium subcutaneous therapeutic dose for three days, followed by oral apixaban 10 mg twice a day for seven days and then 5 mg twice a day for six months. To date, the rate of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in nonhospitalized patients with COVID-19 has not been reported, and current guidelines do not recommend thromboprophylaxis for these patients.
