COVID-19-Related Spinal Subdural Hematoma Presented with Acute Compressive Myelopathy with a Review of the Literature.
Article in Case reports in neurology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Neurological complication due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is accumulating and compressive myelopathy due to spinal subdural hematoma (SSDH) is rarely reported in association with COVID-19. Case Presentation: A 55-year-old male was presented with sudden onset of areflexic paraparesis, urinary retention, loss of all sensations below twelve spinal thoracic segments, and severe back pain. This condition necessitated an immediate order of a spinal cord MRI followed by an urgent surgery, which was crucial to save the spinal cord. COVID-19 was confirmed by a positive reverse-transcription-polymerase chain reaction and spinal MRI showed SSDH. Conclusion: For a patient who presents with acute onset of severe back pain and myelopathy without a history of trauma, SSDH should be suspected. Additionally, coagulopathy associated with COVID-19 infection should increase the suspicion of SSDH which needs immediate surgical treatment to save the spinal cord.
