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

Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 virus infection causes a dysbalanced and severe inflammatory response, including hypercytokinemia and immunodepression. Systemic inflammation triggered by a viral infection can potentially cause vascular damage, which may lead to cardiovascular and neurovascular events. Research question: The aim was to investigate whether CNS complications are related to COVID-19. Materials and methods: We examined 21 patients suffering from stroke and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and 9 (43%) of them were male. We compared relative frequencies using Fisher's exact test. As we had few observations and many variables, we used principal component analysis (PCA) to reduce data dimensionality. We trained a linear support vector machine (SVM) on the first two PCs of the laboratory data to predict COVID-19. Results: Patients suffering from stroke had either hypertension or SARS-CoV-2 infection, but seldom both (OR = 0.05, Discussion and conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 infection causes systemic inflammation, which is suggested as a predictor of the severe course of ICH. SARS-CoV-2 infection is an additional risk factor for vascular complications.
