Abducens Nerve Palsy in a Patient with COVID-19: A Case Report.

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
Numerous neurological manifestations associated with COVID-19 have been reported. However, abducens nerve palsy (ANP) associated with COVID-19 is very rare and mostly related to accompanying respiratory symptoms. Here we present a 29-year-old woman with unilateral ANP manifesting with diplopia and positive SARS-CoV-2 S antibodies, which were checked later. On admission, she had signs of viral pneumonia in thorax CT without any respiratory symptoms. Her cranial neuroimaging revealed no abnormality. Following treatment with favipiravir 2x1600 mg loading dose and then 2x600mg daily maintenance, dexamethasone 8 mg/day and enoxaparin 6000 IU/day, her CT findings recovered completely whereas her ANP only partially resolved. One week after the end of COVID-19 treatment, she also developed Herpes simplex keratitis which was successfully treated with valacyclovir. It should be kept in mind that isolated abducens nerve palsy may be the only finding of COVID-19 cases without any respiratory symptoms.
