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

We report the case of a 71-year-old African American male with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart failure, vitiligo, penicillin allergy, and cocaine use, who presented with respiratory symptoms and was diagnosed with sepsis, COVID-19 pneumonia, exacerbation of COPD, and acute kidney injury (AKI). Treatment included antibiotics and high-dose steroids. The patient developed thrombocytopenia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, acute liver failure, and interstitial nephritis associated with prolonged ibuprofen use. High-dose steroids and ibuprofen discontinuation led to significant improvement. This case highlights the rare occurrence of multiorgan injury from ibuprofen use, possibly aggravated by COVID-19, emphasizing the need for cautious non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use and close patient monitoring.
