Retroperitoneal duodenal perforation due to COVID-19: An extremely rare case report.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 and importance: Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are the most common extrapulmonary presentation of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. GI perforation may be an unusual manifestation of COVID-19 infection. Case presentation: We report a 45-year-old man who presented with acute abdominal pain without any respiratory symptoms to our emergency department. Investigations revealed retroperitoneal duodenal perforation and fibrotic changes in lung bases. Laboratory findings demonstrated a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for COVID-19 and mild leukocytosis. Clinical discussion: COVID-19 related perforation of the retroperitoneal part of the duodenum is extremely rare, and to the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case. With increasing COVID-19 infection, we might see more cases of GI perforation. In the era of COVID-19 pandemic, any abdominal signs and symptoms should alert the clinicians to consider COVID-19 diagnosis in the differential. Conclusion: Conservative management with close monitoring, antibiotic therapy and serial examinations were completely successful. The patient's general condition improved, and he was discharged on day 7 of hospitalization.
