Acute laryngotracheitis caused by COVID-19: A case report and literature review.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Laryngotracheitis (croup) is a rare manifestation of COVID-19 in adults. Presentation of case: A 52-year-old female presented to the emergency department (ED) with shortness of breath and inspiratory stridor. Clinical findings and investigations: Physical examination of the head and neck revealed a congested posterior pharyngeal wall. Laryngeal endoscopy with a 70-degree rigid endoscope demonstrated an edematous, bilaterally moving vocal cords. Chest radiographs showed tapering of the upper trachea (the "steeple" sign), which is observed in parainfluenza-associated croup infections. Interventions and outcome: The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for close observation for possible airway compromise and the need for intubation. Upon which, she tested positive for COVID-19 by polymerase chain reaction testing of nasopharyngeal samples. A regimen of ceftriaxone, nebulized racemic epinephrine, and dexamethasone was initiated. Conclusion: During the current COVID-19 pandemic, early diagnostic testing for SARS-Cov-2 are strongly recommended even when symptoms are not typical of COVID-19.
