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

Long COVID represents a significant challenge in understanding the prolonged impact of the disease. Despite its increasing recognition, detailed insights into the long-term cardiopulmonary consequences remain sparse. This study aimed to evaluate the functional capacity of individuals with persistent symptoms after severe COVID-19 infection compared to control individuals without symptomatic COVID or mild COVID after 17 months. This is a case-control study assessing 34 individuals divided into two groups regarding functional capacity by distance in a 6-min walk test (D6MWT) associated with gas analysis, spirometry, respiratory muscle strength, and quality of life. During the 6 MWT, an important lower heart rate (HR) was observed for the COVID group (106 ± 10 bpm, difference mean: 21.3;
