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: There is limited evidence on the long-term impact of mild-to-moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on lung function among young adults. Objectives: We aimed to assess whether COVID-19 has a negative impact on lung function in young adults and whether asthma, allergic sensitization, or use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) modifies a potential association. Methods: Participants from the population-based BAMSE (Barn, Allergi, Miljö, Stockholm, Epidemiologi) cohort with spirometry assessed before (2016-2019) and after onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021) were included. Serum levels of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) receptor-binding domain-specific IgG, IgM, and/or IgA (determined with ELISA) defined seropositivity. Mean change in lung function (ie, change in FEV Results: Of the 853 included participants, 29% (n = 243) were seropositive. There were no differences in change in lung function between the seronegative and seropositive participants (for mean change in FEV Conclusion: We found no evidence of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 affecting lung function long term in a population-based cohort of young adults. Moreover, neither asthma nor allergic sensitization nor ICS use affected the results.
