Relative Brain Perfusion Differences in a Patient With Persistent Neurocognitive and Vestibular Symptoms Associated With Post-COVID-19 Condition: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Post-COVID-19 condition may present with persistent subjective cognitive and vestibular symptoms despite unrevealing conventional diagnostic evaluation. We report the case of a 67-year-old woman who developed persistent subjective cognitive symptoms ("brain fog"), dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. After an unrevealing conventional diagnostic evaluation, brain perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), obtained as part of the clinical evaluation, demonstrated a nonspecific mixed pattern of relative cortical and subcortical perfusion abnormalities. An individualized management plan was subsequently implemented, and during approximately five months of follow-up, the patient reported gradual improvement in subjective cognitive symptoms, balance, and daily functioning; however, because multiple interventions were introduced concurrently, the contribution of any individual intervention cannot be determined. This case describes a nonspecific pattern of relative brain perfusion abnormalities in a patient with post-COVID-19 condition. The relationship between these imaging findings and the patient's clinical symptoms remains uncertain, and this single observation does not establish the diagnostic or clinical utility of brain perfusion SPECT.
