Facial Palsy in COVID-19 Patient: A Case Report.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Facial paralysis is one of the common problems leading to facial deformation. COVID-19 virus rarely has been shown to be associated with facial palsy. Here we present a case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with features of left lower motor facial palsy signs along with common features suggestive of COVID-19 infection. Brain imaging did not reveal any pertinent pathology but her polymerase chain reaction for COVID-19 was positive. This case highlights the fact that acute COVID-19 infection can be considered a cause of motor neuron facial palsy in the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19. Cases with neurological features suggestive of facial palsy therefore should be suspected of acute COVID-19 infection based on other pertinent findings of COVID-19 infection and thus polymerase chain reaction testing should be done. Keywords: case reports; COVID-19; facial palsy.
