Persistent intracranial hyper-inflammation in ruptured cerebral aneurysm after COVID-19: case report and review of the literature.
Review in BMC neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThe systemic manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) include hyperinflammatory reactions in various organs. Recent studies showed evidence for the frequent involvement of central nervous system in affected patients; however, little is known about clinical features of cerebrovascular diseases in childhood-onset COVID-19. CASE PRESENTATION: A 10-year-old boy recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection without complication. On 14 days after infection, he presented with loss of consciousness. A head computed tomography detected a ruptured cerebral aneurysm at the left posterior cerebral artery accompanying subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Immediate surgical intervention did not rescue the patient, resulting in the demise 7 days after admission. Serological and genetic tests excluded the diagnosis of vasculitis and connective tissue disorders. Retrospective analysis showed markedly higher levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and IL-8 in the cerebrospinal fluid than the serum sample concurrently obtained. A review of literature indicated that adult patients with COVID-19 have a risk for the later development of SAH during the convalescent phase of COVID-19.
conclusionsSAH is a severe complication of COVID-19 in children and adults who have asymptomatic cerebrovascular aneurysms. The markedly high levels of cytokines detected in the cerebrospinal fluid suggested that intracranial hyperinflammatory condition might be one of the possible mechanisms involved in the rupture of a preexisting cerebrovascular aneurysms.
