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

The epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has broken the normal spread mode of respiratory viruses, namely, mainly spread in winter, resulting in over 230 million confirmed cases of COVID-19. Many studies have shown that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) can affect the nervous system by varying degrees. In this review, we look at the acute neuropsychiatric impacts of COVID-19 patients, including acute ischemic stroke, encephalitis, acute necrotizing encephalopathy, dysosmia, and epilepsy, as well as the long-term neuropsychiatric sequelae of COVID-19 survivors: mental disorder and neurodegenerative diseases. In particular, this review discusses long-term changes in brain structure and function associated with COVID-19 infection. We believe that the traditional imaging sequences are important in the acute phase, while the nontraditional imaging sequences are more meaningful for the detection of long-term neuropsychiatric sequelae. These long-term follow-up changes in structure and function may also help us understand the causes of neuropsychiatric symptoms in COVID-19 survivors. Finally, we review previous studies and discuss some potential mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the nervous system. Continuous focus on neuropsychiatric sequelae and a comprehensive understanding of the long-term impacts of the virus to the nervous system is significant for formulating effective sequelae prevention and management strategies, and may provide important clues for nervous system damage in future public health crises.
