Acute cerebellar ataxia during acute COVID-19: A case series and review of the literature.
Review in Journal of infection and chemotherapy : official journal of the Japan Society of Chemotherapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated cerebellar ataxia without multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) or encephalopathy in children has been rarely reported. We reviewed medical records of hospitalized children who had developed cerebellar ataxia during the acute phase of COVID-19 infection, without MIS-C or encephalopathy, in our center. We also conducted a literature review and summarized the clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcomes. We found three cases in our center and additional three cases in the literature. All patients were male and five were preschool children. The cerebellar symptoms started between day 2 and day 10 during the acute phase of the COVID-19 infection. Two cases were complicated by mutism. One patient received therapy for acute cerebellar ataxia with corticosteroids, and others did not receive any specific therapy for acute cerebellar ataxia. The symptoms improved completely in all patients, with the recovery interval ranging from one week to two months. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the pathogenesis of acute cerebellar ataxia during acute COVID-19 in children.
