Long-term effects of obesity on COVID-19 patients discharged from hospital.

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
introductionObesity has been reported as a risk factor for COVID-19 prognosis. However, the long-term effects of obesity on patients discharged from the hospital are unclear, and the present study aims to address this issue.
methodsA cohort study was conducted using data from patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who were discharged from Wuhan Union Hospital between February 20, 2020, and March 20, 2020. The 118 patients with COVID-19 were divided into the non-obesity group and the obesity group according to their body mass index (BMI). All the patients were invited to fill out a series of scales to assess cardiopulmonary function. Data on population baseline characteristics, clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, chest computed tomography (CT), and lung function were collected and analyzed.
resultsThe clinical manifestations and pathological changes on CT images of obese patients were more serious after discharge than those of non-obese patients. In addition, we found significant abnormalities in metabolic indicators such as blood lipids, uric acid, and liver function in obese patients. Most importantly, the antibody titer of COVID-19 obese patients was inversely correlated with BMI.
conclusionIn the long term, obesity affects clinical manifestations, immune function and endocrine metabolism in patients discharged after recovering from COVID-19.
