Prevalence of fatigue at one-year follow-up from the Gothenburg recovery and rehabilitation after COVID-19 and intensive care unit study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 18 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
Fatigue was a commonly reported sequala after COVID-19. However, there is little literature about the prevalence and predictors of fatigue one year after Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission following COVID-19. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of fatigue and to identify the predictors prior to, and during the care period in ICU that were associated with fatigue at one year after ICU admission following COVID-19. The dependent variable, fatigue, was assessed using the Swedish version of Fatigue Assessment Scale (S-FAS), in a cohort of 105 individuals cared for at the ICU at the Sahlgrenska University hospital, Sweden during the first wave of the pandemic. The independent variables were related to demographic factors, comorbidities and complications during ICU admission following COVID-19. Fatigue was reported by 64.4% (n = 67) of the individuals. Age (odds ratio: 0.95, confidence interval: 0.92-0.99) and length of stay in the ICU (odds ratio: 1.04, confidence interval: 1.00-1.07) were statistically significant predictors of fatigue one year after ICU admission following COVID-19. The findings from this study will be important for healthcare practitioners, policy makers and the general public in planning the rehabilitation of individuals who underwent ICU care for COVID-19.
