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

backgroundCritical illness-associated cerebral microbleeds and leukoencephalopathy connected to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection are emerging areas of concern in current medical literature.

methodsWe reviewed cases of patients with COVID-19-associated neurological manifestations to study the prevalence and outcome of such conditions. Case Series Findings: Our review yielded seven distinct patients. Six exhibited cerebral microbleeds, primarily localized in the juxtacortical white matter and the corpus callosum. In contrast, one individual presented with leukoencephalopathy. Tragically, of these patients, five succumbed to their ailments. One was discharged with mild cognitive impairments, while another underwent a tracheostomy and was subsequently moved to a long-term care establishment.

conclusionOur findings underscore the significance of neuro-radiological observations in those grappling with severe manifestations of COVID-19, drawing attention to the possible neurological repercussions of the virus.
