Wernicke Korsakoff syndrome in a teenage female as a complication of COVID-19.
Article in Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Wernicke encephalitis (WE) is usually associated with alcohol use disorder and caused by a deficiency in thiamine. Classic findings include confusion, ataxia, and ophthalmoplegia. This case is a unique presentation of WE in a 14-year-old female related to prior coronavirus disease infection. She had persistent dysgeusia and developed thiamine deficiency. She presented with confusion, ataxia, and changes in speech. She had a prolonged hospitalization but was discharged to an inpatient rehab facility with persistent symptoms. It is prudent to include thiamine deficiency in the differential for patients with any symptoms of WE and a history of nutritional deficiency.
