Acute Hemorrhagic Myelitis in an Adolescent With COVID-19: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection is considered a multisystem disease rather than solely affecting the respiratory system. In addition, many reports have described neurological manifestations of this disease; yet reports on spinal cord involvement, especially in pediatrics, are still limited. We describe a case of a 15-year-old male with COVID-19, who presented with sudden paraplegia and urinary incontinence, preceded by a two-day history of fever. Upon clinical and radiological assessment, he was diagnosed with acute hemorrhagic myelitis. A remarkable motor improvement upon a nine-month follow-up was perceived. Our case illustrates that serious complications can arise even though COVID-19 causes milder disease in pediatrics. We advocate for vaccinating the pediatric population to prevent such occurrences.
