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

This case report presents a posterior circulation infarction in a previously healthy 39-year-old male, three months post-severe COVID-19. He presented with right-sided homonymous hemianopia and elevated inflammatory markers and D-dimer levels. Imaging revealed an acute left occipital infarct. Such post-COVID-19 posterior circulation strokes are rare. This report discusses the pathophysiology, optimal anticoagulation therapy for COVID-19-related thrombotic complications, and early predictor models. This case underscores the need to recognize thromboembolic events as potential late sequelae in severe COVID-19 cases.
