COVID-19 Presenting as Encephalitis and Myopericarditis: A Report of a Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
COVID-19 might present with a wide range of clinical manifestations, from mild respiratory distress to severe multi-organ dysfunction. We present a unique case of complex COVID-19 presentation in a 45-year-old female who initially developed general symptoms such as fever, cough, headache, and weakness, which escalated to coma, requiring intubation and ICU admission. A brain MRI revealed lesions compatible with encephalitis, the cause of which remained unexplained after an in-depth clinical, laboratory, and imaging investigation. While in the ICU, the patient also developed cardiac tamponade, requiring pericardiocentesis, and atypical electrocardiographic changes. After treatment with steroids, her condition improved, and the patient was extubated and transferred to the ward. Upon checkup, cardiac MRI revealed fibrous tissue in the inferior cardiac wall and the adjacent intraventricular septum. In the absence of an alternative diagnosis, it might be important to consider the central nervous system and cardiac involvement in patients with COVID-19.
