Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Critically Ill Coronavirus Disease 2019 Survivors: Evidence of a Sustained Exercise Intolerance and Hypermetabolism.
Article in Critical care explorations, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
To investigate exercise capacity at 3 and 6 months after a prolonged ICU stay.
designObservational monocentric study.
settingA post-ICU follow-up clinic in a tertiary university hospital in Liège, Belgium. PATIENTS: Patients surviving an ICU stay greater than or equal to 7 days for a severe coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia and attending our post-ICU follow-up clinic. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsCardiopulmonary and metabolic variables provided by a cardiopulmonary exercise testing on a cycle ergometer were collected at rest, at peak exercise, and during recovery. Fourteen patients (10 males, 59 yr [52-62 yr], all obese with body mass index > 27 kg/m
conclusionsProlonged reduced exercise capacity was observed up to 6 months in critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 survivors. This disability did not result from residual pulmonary or cardiac dysfunction but rather from a metabolic disorder characterized by a sustained hypermetabolism and an impaired oxygen utilization.
