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 2019 (COVID-19) infection has been associated with a multitude of complications, one established complication being thromboembolism, a result of the proinflammatory state induced by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This prothrombotic state is a cumulation of many inflammatory pathways at work. Here, we present an interesting case of a 43-year-old female who did not present with the typical COVID-19 clinical picture. Instead, she presented with periumbilical pain, nausea, and vomiting. Upon further investigation, she was found to have a splenic infarct on a computed tomography (CT) scan. An extensive workup was performed to explore possible etiologies; however, it was concluded that her splenic infarct was secondary to her COVID-19 infection. With this case, we aim to add to the literature regarding the manifestations of the prothrombotic state of SARS-CoV-2.
