1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Looking at the recent data provided in literature, we can see an association between cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents in COVID-19 thought to be related to severe inflammation and prothrombotic environment caused by the virus. This article reports a patient presenting with typical signs and symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection including flu like symptoms and respiratory distress. Initially a chest CT was performed that showed characteristic findings of atypical pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus which was later confirmed with a nasopharyngeal PCR positive for COVID-19. During the course of admission patient developed unstable angina. Further testing confirmed an acute ST elevation myocardial infarction. While on anticoagulant treatment, patient showed signs of cerebrovascular accident. An emergency brain CT was ordered which did not yield any significant changes supporting our clinical diagnosis. Further diagnostic workup using magnetic resonance imaging disclosed evidence of cerebral ischemia in medial cerebral artery territory. Our study suggests that prophylactic anticoagulant regiment is not reassuring in COVID-19 patients and close observation and vigilance, can help clinicians to act timely and can improve patient survival.
