Electroneurological changes in peripheral nerves in patients post-COVID.
Article in Journal of neurophysiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Various neurological manifestations are observed in about 36.4% of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and post-COVID neuropathy is one of them. There is lack of studies describing neurophysiological abnormalities in peripheral nerves in case of patients who had SARS-CoV-2 infection. The aim of this study was to analyze the changes in peripheral nervous system in case of COVID-19 survivors. In the presented study, 45 COVID-19 survivors who had nerve conduction study (NCS) were involved. Results were compared with control group consisting of healthy patients who had nerve conduction study before the COVID-19 pandemic. In our study group, neurophysiological abnormalities were present in the case of both sensory and motor nerve fibers. The most significant reduction of NCS parameters was observed in the case of sensory action potential amplitude of sural nerve. Moreover, that correlation was the most significant in the case of amplitude and conduction velocity in sensory and motor neuron fibers both in arms and legs. Those abnormalities were observed even 6 mo after COVID-19. Further investigation needs to be done regarding the polyneuropathies associated with human coronaviruses, and we should answer the question whether the virus directly damages peripheral nerves or factors mediating inflammatory response are responsible for the neural damage.
