1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Mental health disorders are among the most significant sequelae of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the mental health status and associated risk factors of Moroccan COVID-19 survivors 3 months after hospital discharge. Methods: A case-control study was conducted from September 2021 to February 2022 on 824 participants. 213 were COVID-19 survivors and 611 were control group. Data were collected ether through an online anonymous survey. Anxiety and depression disorders were assessed using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Results: The average age of all participants was 55.17 ± 16.44. Our findings highlighted higher prevalence of mental health disorders including anxiety and depression in COVID-19 survivors at 3 months after hospital discharge (HADS-A = 12.84; HADS-D = 10.91) compared to control group (HADS-A = 9.90; HADS-D = 8.27) ( Conclusions: The present investigation highlights the need to develop a post-COVID-19 rehabilitation programs that can better manage the post COVID-19 impact and restore a good mental health for COVID-19 survivors. Also, to create preventative strategies to limit mental health disorders in COVID-19 survivors.
