Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis in a Patient With Mild Symptoms of COVID-19 Pneumonia.
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
Although coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection is mainly associated with pneumonia, several non-respiratory complications may also occur. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare but potentially fatal complication of COVID-19 infection. In order to increase awareness about such life-threatening complications to a large population of patients with otherwise mild COVID-19 infection, we present the clinical course of a 29-year-old unvaccinated female who developed CVST, with eight days of mild COVID-19 infection, that proved fatal despite adequate therapeutic measures. Clinicians should carefully consider the risk of thrombosis in patients who present with COVID-19 infection regardless of the intensity of the disease, including prophylaxis (to reduce the risk of hypercoagulable complications) and treatment beyond discharge. More data and research is needed to identify COVID-19 as an independent risk factor for thromboembolism so that future efforts can be aimed at appropriate management e.g. with prophylactic anticoagulants to avoid such complications. In case of unexplained neurological manifestations in patients with an active or recent COVID-19 infection, early investigations for cerebrovascular integrity should be done by using MRI and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)/magnetic resonance venography (MRV).
