Cancer as a prospective sequela of long COVID-19.
Article in BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 48 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
As the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to surge worldwide, our knowledge of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is rapidly expanding. Although most COVID-19 patients recover within weeks of symptom onset, some experience lingering symptoms that last for months ("long COVID-19"). Early reports of COVID-19 sequelae, including cardiovascular, pulmonary, and neurological conditions, have raised concerns about the long-term effects of COVID-19, especially in hard-hit communities. It is becoming increasingly evident that cancer patients are more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and are at a higher risk of severe COVID-19 than the general population. Nevertheless, whether long COVID-19 increases the risk of cancer in those with no prior malignancies, remains unclear. Given, the disproportionate impact of the disease on the African American community, yet another unanswered question is whether racial disparities are to be expected in COVID-19 sequelae. Herein, we propose that long COVID-19 may predispose recovered patients to cancer development and accelerate cancer progression. This hypothesis is based on growing evidence of the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to modulate oncogenic pathways, promote chronic low-grade inflammation, and cause tissue damage. Comprehensive studies are urgently required to elucidate the effects of long COVID-19 on cancer susceptibility.
