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: Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is considered a multi-system disease that might present with or develop complications during the acute phase of illness. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of musculoskeletal (MSK) manifestations in patients with COVID-19 infection and investigate their clinical correlations. Methods: This study was carried out on 110 patients with a history of RT-PCR confirmed COVID-19 infection. They completed a questionnaire that covered detailed information on their sociodemographic characteristics, clinical data of COVID-19 infection in addition to MSK discomfort form based on the Nordic MSK Questionnaire. Results: The mean age of the patients was 37.7 years (SD 12.9), 72.7% were females. The majority of patients (90.9%) reported MSK symptoms that occur during or shortly after the acute attack of COVID-19 infection. The median duration of onset of MSK symptoms was 2 days from the first day of COVID-19 infection (min-max: 0-45 days) with a median duration of MSK symptoms of 7 days. Myalgia was the main complaint (85.5%) followed by arthralgia 90 (81.8%). However, swollen joints were reported in only 9 patients (8.2%). According to the body areas, maximum number of patients felt pain at the lower back (60%), followed by neck (39.1%), and upper back (32.5%) followed by right and left shoulder (20.9%). Patients with MSK manifestations were associated higher severity of COVID-19 infection (p < 0.001), prolonged duration of COVID-19 symptoms (p < 0.001) and higher prevalence of fatigue (p < 0.001). Conclusion: MSK manifestations are common in COVID-19 patients and related to disease severity, duration and fatigue.
