Two Case Reports of Patients With Transverse Myelitis as a Complication of SARS-CoV-2 Infection.

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
Transverse myelitis is a nontraumatic spinal cord injury that presents with sudden onset weakness, sensory deficits, and autonomic dysfunction. It can be caused by multiple etiologies including malignancy, autoimmune disorders, viral, bacterial, or fungal infections, and environmental factors. In this article, we describe cases of two elderly male patients affected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Patients did not exhibit classic or had only mild classic symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection; however, both patients developed transverse myelitis. Patients were treated with intravenous steroids and therapeutic plasmapheresis, achieving partial improvement. The study aimed to understand rare complications like transverse myelitis of SARS-CoV-2 infection and treatment accordingly.
