The COVID-19 Mirage: A Young Biologist With an Atypical Presentation of a Zoonotic Disease During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Article in Cureus, 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
COVID-19 has become one of the main causes of febrile illness among emergency department patients and is always a differential diagnosis to keep in mind. Nonetheless, some patients with a history of exposure, persistent fever, and suspicion of COVID-19 end up having entirely different etiologies. Here, we present the case of a 29-year-old male biologist with an uncommon presentation of a zoonotic disease, characterized by unspecific signs and symptoms, which led to a delayed diagnosis, causing significant emotional distress in the patient. We also coin the term "COVID-19 Mirage," to serve as a constant reminder for clinicians of the effect that COVID-19 has caused on the differential diagnosis of fever of unknown etiology.
