An 18-Year-Old Female Experiences Unilateral Vocal Cord Paralysis during Mild COVID-19 Infection.
Article in Case reports in otolaryngology, 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
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown with certainty that SARS-CoV-2 can cause a variety of clinical findings, with some of the most notable being lasting chemosensory changes. Severe infections with SARS-CoV-2 can also lead to a variety of complications. For example, vocal cord paralysis can be caused by trauma sustained during intubation, which is a necessary procedure for many severe cases. Rarely, SARS-CoV-2 related vocal cord paralysis has occurred outside the context of intubation. These cases contribute to an emerging assortment of evidence supporting the neuropathic capacity of SARS-CoV-2. This report documents a case of COVID-19 related vocal cord paralysis in an 18-year-old female. The patient had a significant history of muscle tension dysphonia, chronic laryngitis, and vocal cord nodules. The patient developed vocal cord paralysis concurrently with the onset of mild viral symptoms and was never intubated or hospitalized. Based on the onset of symptoms and other causes being excluded with CT, a diagnosis of COVID-19-related vocal cord paralysis was performed.
