Case Reports: Exposure to SARS-CoV-2, Acute Kidney Injury, and Lithium Toxicity.
Review in Journal of clinical psychopharmacology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposesThe aims of the study were to review 3 cases of lithium toxicity among individuals with bipolar disorder who were diagnosed with COVID-19 and to review the literature discussing the implications of COVID-19 and exposure to SARS-CoV-2 relative to medical use of lithium in management of bipolar disorder.
methodsThis is a case review of medical and psychiatric notes of 3 individuals with bipolar disorder, managed with lithium, who developed COVID-19. This study discussed these cases in context of previous case reports and relevant literature pertaining to lithium and exposure to SARS-CoV-2.
findingsInfection with SARS-CoV-2 along with symptoms of COVID-19 and mental state changes in three individuals were temporally associated with lithium levels in the toxic range. IMPLICATIONS: Exposure to SARS-CoV-2 or symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 should result in increased clinical monitoring of individuals taking lithium. Those taking lithium and providers are advised to have a low clinical threshold for requesting lithium levels and kidney function estimates for the duration of the COVD-19 pandemic.
