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

COVID-19 infection is associated with stroke due to various proposed mechanisms, including cerebral vasculitis, arterial and venous thrombosis. Vessel wall imaging, although not pathognomonic, interpreted in the appropriate clinical context and supportive laboratory findings, can help clarify the diagnosis and differentiate the etiology from other mechanisms of CNS involvement. We describe a patient with extensive anterior circulation vasculitis and ischemic stroke in the setting of COVID-19, with sparing of the posterior circulation.
