COVID-19 infection in a child following liver transplantation.
Article in Anaesthesia reports. 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
COVID-19 infection immediately after liver transplantation presents a unique and challenging situation. In this report, we present the case of an 11-year-old girl who underwent emergency living donor liver transplantation for acute liver failure. After an uneventful intra-operative course, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit. On the second postoperative day, the patient developed unexplained severe hypoxia. A polymerase chain reaction test was positive for SARS-CoV-2 virus and a hypercoagulable state was indicated by laboratory investigations. Despite therapies such as mechanical ventilation and therapeutic anticoagulation, further clinical deterioration occurred. On the seventh postoperative day, the patient's pupils were fully dilated bilaterally and unreactive to light, and brain death was later confirmed. This report highlights unique challenges pertaining to oxygenation, coagulation and immunosuppression after liver transplantation in a child with COVID-19. Hypoxia of unknown origin in the postoperative period should prompt consideration of COVID-19 as a possible cause.
