Squamous Metaplasia of the Colon Following Severe COVID-19.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 53-year-old man was admitted for respiratory failure due to severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. The patient required prolonged artificial ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory support. Despite successful discontinuation of ECMO, the patient experienced profuse watery diarrhea (5-10 L/day). A colonoscopy revealed an inflamed surface without undulation that uniformly extended throughout the colon. Biopsy specimens revealed complete disappearance of existing crypts and replacement with squamous or transitional epithelium normally observed in the anal transitional zone mucosa, with granulation tissue proliferation in the lamina propria. Watery diarrhea persisted despite corticosteroid and infliximab administration. Although diarrhea due to atrophy of the surface and cryptic epithelium as an intestinal manifestation of coronavirus disease 2019 usually responds to corticosteroids, refractory diarrhea can be attributed to squamous metaplasia with complete disappearance of the surface and cryptic epithelium.
