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
introductionLow physical activity and poor dietary quality can negatively influence Covid-19 recovery and increase the risk and duration of post-Covid-19 condition (PCC). This proof-of-concept nested intervention study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a digital personalised combined lifestyle intervention (CLI) in patients with PCC using a mixed-methods design, assessing compliance, experiences and perceived effectiveness.
methodsA nested intervention study, incorporating motivational interviewing aiming to enhance physical activity and dietary quality, was conducted within a multicentre prospective cohort study including 95 post-Covid-19 patients (aged 40-60) between May 2021 and September 2022. Patients in the intervention and control groups were followed at ±3-6 and ±12-15 months post Covid-19. The intervention consisted of nine monthly individual counselling sessions (30 min), two interactive-group sessions (60 min), and three educative webinars (45 min). Additionally, a nutritional supplement (NS; Remune, Smartfish, Oslo, Norway) high in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D and protein was provided to facilitate recovery. After the intervention, a process evaluation was conducted, comprising an evaluation questionnaire and semi-structured in-depth interviews.
resultsThe intervention-to-treat group consisted of 47 patients (age 54.7 ± 6.0 years; 40% males; BMI 30.6 ± 5.8 kg/m
conclusionA digital personalised CLI was well-received among patients with PCC regarding compliance, experiences and perceived effectiveness. These findings will guide the development and implementation of tailored interventions to enhance overall well-being among patients with PCC. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Patients' experiences regarding the design and implementation of the study were retrieved. Although participants were not directly involved in the initial design of the study, their experiences were actively incorporated into the refinement and implementation of the study procedures, thereby ensuring meaningful patient involvement.
