CHARACTERIZATION OF PATIENTS IN THE POST-ACUTE PHASE OF COVID-19 WHO PRESENTED THEMSELVES TO AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT.
Article in Acta endocrinologica (Bucharest, Romania : 2005). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Patients that recovered from COVID-19 may remain with symptoms which can persist for an uncertain period of time. Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the reasons why patients who passed the acute phase of COVID-19 presented themselves to the Emergency Department. Patients and Methods: We selected 87 patients admitted to the Emergency Department of the Bucharest University Emergency Hospital between 01.01.2021-31.05.2021. Patients had pulmonary fibrosis (11.49%), pleural effusion (16.09%) or a history of hypertension (73.56%), type 2 diabetes (42.53%), stroke (24.14%), malignant diseases (10.34%). Results: Association between neutrophil levels and acute stroke and between fibrinogen levels and alveolar condensation were identified. The percentage of deaths was significantly higher in the subgroup of subjects that had maxim 11 days of hospitalization (p=0.004); we observed a trend of association between the age of more than 51 years old and admission in the Emergency Unit at less than a month after the SARS Cov2 infection, the positive result at the RT-PCR test or a lung damage of over 30% (p<0.05). Conclusion: A significant percentage of patients that were admitted to the Emergency Unit post COVID-19 had chronic pathologies and their characteristics were associated with neutrophilia, high fibrinogen levels or length of hospitalization.
