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

Delusional parasitosis is a psychotic disorder that manifests as a belief that the skin is infested with parasites. This case report documents the association between COVID-19 infection and new-onset delusional parasitosis superimposed on preexisting psychosis, which has not been previously documented in the current literature. A 28-year-old male presented with new-onset delusional parasitosis superimposed on existing psychosis following COVID-19 infection. Computed tomography scan of the head was unremarkable. He was treated with olanzapine, which appeared to lessen the intensity of the delusions. This case report should encourage increased monitoring of COVID-positive patients with psychosis.
