Abrupt bilateral blindness as a rare post-acute demyelinating consequence of COVID-19.
Article in eNeurologicalSci, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) could prompt various neurological complications. Abrupt visual disturbance was reported as a rare severe manifestation of post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Autoimmune conditions were assumed to have an undeniable role in creation of such circumstances. This report presents a 69-year-old woman with sudden bilateral blindness three weeks after recovering from a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Demyelination due to COVID-19-related autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system (CRAD-C) was considered to be the etiology of her bilateral blindness. Due to her progressive demyelination, immunosuppressive treatments were administered, which resulted in stabilizing post-COVID-19 demyelinating lesions. Accordingly, in the case of COVID-19-related neurological deficits, especially the acute and progressive symptoms, there should be great consideration of autoimmune response to prevent serious complications; hence early diagnosis, treatment, and long-term assessment of patients are necessitated.
