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
backgroundThe aim of the present study is to reveal the association between the risk of stroke using ABCD
methodsAccording to the recommendations of the European Stroke Association, patients with an ABCD2 score of <4 were classified as low-risk, and patients with an ABCD2 score of ≥4 were classified as high-risk. Within 90 days of the patient's admission to the emergency room, the development of stroke was tracked and recorded on the system.
resultsStroke occurred in 35.78% of the patients. Regarding COVID-19, 75.34% of stroke patients were positive for COVID-19 and 65.75% had COVID-19 compatible pneumonia on 'thoracic CT'. Regarding mortality, 16.4% of the patients who were positive for COVID-19 and developed a stroke died. The presence of COVID-19 compatible pneumonia on thorax CT, PCR test result and ABCD2 score were determined as independent risk factors for the development of stroke. According to the PCR test results, the probability of having a stroke decreases 0.283 times in patients who are negative for COVID-19. According to the PCR test results, the probability of having a stroke increased 2.7 times in COVID-19 positive patients.
conclusionsAdding the presence of COVID-19 and the presence of COVID-19 pneumonia to the ABCD
