1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 occurs due to infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), which has caused havoc globally. It presents with a wide range of symptoms, mainly respiratory symptoms, but with time various neurological manifestations of the disease have also been noted, like myelitis. This case report aims to shed light on COVID-19-associated myelitis so that potential neurological complications of COVID-19 can be identified and treated timely. We report a case of a 41-year-old male who presented with weakness of all limbs with urinary complaints. He also had a cough and sore throat for the past few days. The MRI scan of the spine showed long segment myelitis in the cervical cord extending from the cervicomedullary junction to the upper end of the C4 vertebral body. COVID-19 myelitis is a rare but severe complication of COVID-19 infection and needs to be discussed.
