Post-COVID-19 health-related quality of life in India: A systematic review and meta-analytic assessment of recovery outcomes.
Article in World journal of virology, 2025. 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
backgroundThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had profound physical, psychological, and social consequences, with lasting effects on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among people with a history of COVID-19.
aimTo synthesize the current evidence on HRQoL and long-term health outcomes among people with a history of COVID-19 in India.
methodsWe incorporated studies from India reporting post-COVID HRQoL outcomes using validated instruments, including the 5-level EuroQol 5-Dimensional questionnaire, the EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale, the Short Form-36 Health Survey, the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief Version, and the European Health Interview Survey-Quality of Life. Pooled mean 5-level EuroQol 5-Dimensional questionnaire scores with 95%CIs were calculated for HRQoL. Adjusted odds ratios were pooled for comorbidity, disease severity, intensive care unit admission, age, sex, and vaccination status using random-effects models.
resultsThree studies (
conclusionPost-COVID HRQoL in people with a history of COVID-19 in India is suboptimal, with greater impairment observed among older adults, females, patients with comorbidities or severe disease, and unvaccinated individuals. These findings highlight the need for targeted rehabilitation and preventive strategies.
