Spinomedullary Weston Hurst Syndrome After COVID-19 and Influenza Co-Infection: A Case Report.
Article in The Neurohospitalist, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
The neurological complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) have so far included a range of para- and post-infectious neuroinflammatory syndromes inclusive of all components of the neuraxis and peripheral neuromuscular system. In comparison to the para-infectious manifestations of anosmia, ageusia, encephalopathy, and encephalitis, cases of post-infectious ADEM have rarely been reported and have most commonly affected the supratentorial component with or without spinal cord involvement. In this report, we describe a case of isolated involvement of the cervicothoracic spinal cord and medulla, occurring in association with microhemorrhages and hemosiderin deposition in the medulla, that presented fulminantly and required aggressive immunotherapy to control the inflammatory attack. We compare and contrast this case against prior reports of acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis (Weston Hurst syndrome) and review the atypical features of neuroinflammation reported to occur following COVID-19 infection.
