COVID-19 related acute necrotizing encephalopathy and acute myocarditis in an adult female: a novel case report of brain injury and myocarditis.

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
backgroundAcute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) and myocarditis are both acute, life-threatening conditions that can be triggered by COVID-19. We report a case of sequential ANE and myocarditis following a COVID-19 infection. CASE PRESENTATION: A 27-year-old female patient was brought to the emergency department due to episodes of fever for two days and a 9-h altered state of consciousness. Her condition rapidly developed into stuporous and hemodynamic instability within serval hours. Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was rapidly initiated with other supportive treatments. The following-up MRI showed bilateral, symmetrically distributed lesions in the brainstem, bilateral hippocampal regions, and bilateral basal ganglia, consistent with ANE. The diagnosis was confirmed through the detection of SARS-CoV-2 and the exclusion of other potential causes. After weeks of medical treatment, her condition stabilized, and she was transferred for further rehabilitation treatment.
conclusionsThis case study indicates that COVID-19 may simultaneously and rapidly affect the central nervous system and cardiovascular system, leading to poor outcomes. Accurate diagnosis and timely invasive bridging therapy, when necessary, can be lifesaving. Further exploration of potential mechanisms underlying COVID-19 central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular system manifestations will be important.
