The long-term impact of COVID-19 pneumonia on pulmonary function and exercise capacity.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: The sequelae of post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been widely reported. However, the time point of the follow-up time in the previous studies varied ranging from 3-24 months and the interval time of the follow-up time was too long (6 or 12 months). Thus, a shorter interval time during recovery for assessment of the sequelae of post COVID-19 on lung function and exercise capacity is still required. Therefore, this study aims to explore the long-term impact of COVID-19 pneumonia on pulmonary function and exercise capacity. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on post COVID-19 pneumonia at the Lung Health Center, Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Allergy, Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand between May 2021 and April 2022. Spirometry, impulse oscillometry (IOS), and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) were assessed at 1-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month post-hospital discharge when compared to healthy controls. The six-minute walk test (6-MWT) was also assessed. Results: Thirty-eight post COVID-19 pneumonia with ages 41.1±14.8 years (52.6% male) and twenty-five healthy controls were enrolled. The %predicted of forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV Conclusions: The long term sequelae of post COVID-19 pneumonia on lung function and exercise capacity were observed. Pulmonary function tests and six-minutes walk test are useful tools for detection of long term sequelae of post COVID-19 pneumonia.
