Six-month Morbidity and Mortality in Patients after Recovery from COVID-19.

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: This telephonic survey was aimed to identify the proportion of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients who died from any cause, within 6 months of discharge from a tertiary COVID-19 care hospital. We also analyzed whether any clinical and/or laboratory variables were associated with post-discharge mortality. Materials and methods: All adult patients (age ≥18 years) who had been discharged during the period between July 2020 and August 2020 from a tertiary COVID-19-care hospital after initial hospitalization for COVID-19 were included. A telephonic interview was conducted 6 months after discharge to assess morbidity and mortality in these patients. Results: Out of the 457 patients who responded, 79 patients (17.21%) were symptomatic, and breathlessness was found as most common symptom (6.12%). Fatigue was noted in (5.93%) of study patients, followed by cough (4.59%), sleep disturbances (4.37%), and headache (2.62%). Of the 457 patients who responded, 42 patients (9.19%) required expert medical consultation for their persistent symptoms. Thirty-six patients (7.88%) required re-hospitalization for post-COVID-19 complications within 6 months of discharge. A total of 10 patients (2.18%) succumbed within 6 months of their discharge from the hospital. 6 patients were males and 4 females. Most of these patients (7/10) succumbed in the second month after discharge. Seven patients had moderate-to-severe COVID-19 disease and most of these (7/10) had not been treated in the intensive care unit (ICU). Conclusion: Post-COVID-19 mortality figures were not very high in our survey despite the high perceived risk of thromboembolic events after recovery from COVID-19. A significant proportion of patients reported persistent post-COVID-19 symptoms. Breathing difficulty was the most common symptom noted by us, closely followed by fatigue.
