Association between SARS-CoV-2 and stroke: perspectives from a metaumbrella-review.
Synthesis in BMC neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
In the face of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the need arose to investigate potential complications associated with SARS-CoV-2, including the risk of stroke.ObjectiveThis study aimed to verify the association between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the risk of stroke on the basis of systematic reviews and meta-analyses to assess the inclusion of the virus as a new risk factor for cerebrovascular diseases.MethodsA metaumbrella study was conducted, which included 34 systematic reviews, of which 4 were selected for the final analysis on the basis of methodological quality and consistency. The analysis aggregated the results of 70 primary studies, considering different stroke subtypes and outcomes associated with COVID-19. Study heterogeneity was assessed via the I
