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

We experienced two consecutive cases of Wallenberg syndrome that developed after COVID-19 infection. Case 1 had symptoms such as a sore throat, but also complained of strong stress related to work and home at the same time. Therefore, it was initially thought due to a mental cause, but the psychiatrist denied depression and pointed out that it was a physical problem. After conducting neurological examinations and a videofluoroscopic (VF) swallowing examination, it was found to be dysphagia. Based on these findings, Wallenberg syndrome was diagnosed by MRI. Due to these events, it took a very long time to diagnose. Because of this experience, Case 2 was diagnosed with Wallenberg syndrome in a short time. Therefore, if symptoms like those in this case report such as feeding problems are observed after COVID-19 infection, it is considered meaningful to suspect Wallenberg syndrome from the beginning.
