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

introductionSARS-CoV-2, responsible for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, may impact other systems apart from the respiratory system, including the nervous system. In this systematic review, we aimed to establish the prevalence and determinants of neuropathic pain amongst COVID-19-infected individuals. METHODOLOGY: A literature search in the PubMed database was performed and 11 papers were eligible for inclusion in this systematic review and meta-analysis.

resultsThe pooled prevalence of COVID-19-related neuropathic pain was 6.7% (95% CI: 4.7-9.5%) for hospitalised patients during the acute phase and 34.3% (95% CI: 14.3-62%) for long COVID patients. The identified risk factors for COVID-19-related neuropathic pain development included depression, COVID-19 severity and azithromycin use.

conclusionsNeuropathic pain is a very common symptom in long COVID, indicating the urgency for further research in this direction.
