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

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is primarily a respiratory disease that has also been shown to be associated with neurological complications such as ischemic stroke, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and encephalitis. Ischemic stroke in patients with COVID-19 has mostly been observed in the elderly, those with significant comorbidities, and the critically ill. In this report, we discuss a case of ischemic stroke in an otherwise healthy young male patient who only had a mild case of COVID-19. It is likely that the patient suffered from an ischemic stroke secondary to cardiomyopathy that resulted from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The ischemic stroke was most likely a result of thromboembolism caused by stasis of blood from acute dilated cardiomyopathy and the hypercoagulable state of COVID-19 patients. It is important to maintain a high degree of clinical suspicion for thromboembolic events in COVID-19 patients.
