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 19 (COVID-19) may lead to post-COVID syndrome a few weeks to months after the infection with various symptoms. Post-COVID thromboembolic syndrome may be a result of coagulopathy that occurs in both the arterial and venous circulation. Apart from direct cellular infection, post-COVID syndrome may occur due to immune system dysregulation, endothelial injury, and hypercoagulability, leading to thrombosis. We present a 32-year-old man who was diagnosed with mild symptoms of COVID-19 infection 4 months before an acute ischemic stroke and an asymptomatic pulmonary embolism. A COVID-19 antigen test was negative. An analysis of prothrombotic factors was negative. He could not receive any therapeutic intervention before his demise. The extent of COVID-19 infection after the onset of symptoms is a mystery and poses a fatal concern due to the increasing number of complications. The long-term complications after COVID-19 infection are still not understood. Clinicians need to be aware of any signs and symptoms that may arise months after COVID-19 infection and its possible causal relationship.
