An acute lower limb ischemia revealing a covid-19 infection: A case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 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
Introduction: Covid-19 is associated with thrombo-embolic events. These complications are either veinous or arterial. By this case report, we aim to highlight the physiopathology and the epidemiology of covid-19 related thromboembolic complications. Case report: We report a case of a 65 years old patient who was admitted fo lower limb ischemia complicating a covid-19 infection. Computed tomography of the aorta and lower limbs showed thrombosis of the femoral artery extended to the popliteal artery and leg arteries. Despite a surgical embolectomy the patient rethromboses twice leading to a thigh amputation. Discussion: Several hypotheses have been put forward to explain Covid 19-related thromboembolic events. About 3% of patients develop arterial thrombosis. Raffaello Bellosta and al. reported the incidence of acute limb ischemia has significantly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Italian Lombardy region. Conclusion: The coagulopathy responsible for venous and arterial thrombosis is a well-established complication of COVID-19. Arterial thromboembolic complications can be either stroke, acute coronary syndrome or peripheral acute ischemia. Therefore, patients with covid19 should be monitored more closely for thromboembolic complications.
