Left Vocal Cord Palsy Immediately After COVID-19 Despite No Tracheal Intubation.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) typically present with pulmonary and upper respiratory tract symptoms, but may also present with neurologic complications. Because severe cases are often intubated or ventilated, there are some reports of vocal cord palsy associated with intubation; however, there are few reports of recurrent nerve palsy without intubation management. We experienced a case of left vocal cord palsy following COVID-19 in a healthy young male patient with no previous medical history. The patient became aware of hoarseness symptoms three days after he was found to be COVID-19 positive, and an endoscopic examination of the larynx revealed left vocal cord palsy. Since the patient had no previous medical history and there were no lesions that could cause recurrent nerve palsy on neck-thorax imaging, it was considered likely that the patient had unilateral recurrent nerve palsy due to acute inflammation caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Medication was started and his hoarseness became relieved. In vocal cord palsy occurring after COVID-19 illness, it is necessary to consider the presence of both vocal cord palsy related to tracheal intubation and recurrent nerve palsy associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
