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
backgroundMany publications have reported that acute COVID-19 infection can cause autonomic dysfunction. In this series, we described seven patients who had recurrent fever after acute COVID-19 infection, and the possible pathophysiological basis is autonomic dysfunction. PATIENTS: This was a retrospective study conducted at the Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2023 to March 2023. Patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Infectious Diseases with a diagnosis of fever of unknown origin.
resultsBetween January and March 2023, a total of seven patients with autonomic dysfunction in post-COVID condition, who had recurrent fever accompanied by electrolyte imbalances and other manifestations of autonomic dysfunction. The median age of these patients was relatively high, and they were mostly indoor workers with comorbidities such as diabetes and chronic hypertension. Physical cooling and correction of electrolyte imbalances with medication were effective treatments.
conclusionsThe COVID-19 infection can lead to autonomic dysfunction, which manifests not only as tachycardia and blood pressure abnormalities, but may also be the pathophysiological mechanism underlying recurrent fever in post-COVID cases.
