Peripheral neurological complications during COVID-19: A single center experience.
Article in Journal of the neurological sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsWe highlight the peripheral neurologic complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), an ongoing global health emergency.
methodsWe evaluated twenty-five patients admitted to the COVID-19 Recovery Unit (CRU) at New York-Presbyterian Weill Cornell University Medical Center after intensive care hospitalization with confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), whom neurology was consulted for weakness and/or paresthesias. All patients were clinically evaluated by a neuromuscular neurologist who performed electrodiagnostic (EDX) studies when indicated. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the affected regions, along with nerve and muscle biopsies were obtained in select patients to better elucidate the underlying diagnosis.
resultsWe found fourteen out of twenty-five patients with prolonged hospitalization for COVID-19 infection to have peripheral neurological complications, identified as plexopathies, peripheral neuropathies and entrapment neuropathies. The other eleven patients were not found to have peripheral neurologic causes for their symptoms. Patients with peripheral neurological complications often exhibited more than one type of concurrently. Specifically, there were four cases of plexopathies, nine cases of entrapment neuropathies, and six cases of peripheral neuropathies, which included cranial neuropathy, sciatic neuropathy, and multiple mononeuropathies.
conclusionsWe explore the possibility that the idiopathic peripheral neurologic complications could be manifestations of the COVID-19 disease spectrum, possibly resulting from micro-thrombotic induced nerve ischemia.
