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: It is well established that fully vaccinated (≥2 doses) individuals may develop COVID-19. However, little is known about the specific prevalence of post-COVID-19 conditions associated with the Delta variant or the effect of vaccination on post-acute outcomes of COVID-19. In addition, how Delta variant infection severity compares in fully vaccinated individuals versus in those unvaccinated is unknown. Methods: This prospective single-centre observational cohort study assessed adults with SARS-CoV-2 proven infection from August 1 to November 1, 2021. Study participants were enrolled in the Biobanque Québécoise de la COVID-19. Data on demographics, comorbidities, and severity of COVID-19 were collected. Simple and multiple logistic regressions were used to identify risk factors for post-COVID-19 conditions. Results: Among the 395 individuals who were interviewed by phone, 138 (39.4%) agreed to participate. Of the 138 participants, 62.8% were Delta-associated breakthrough infections that occurred in fully vaccinated individuals and 37.1% in unvaccinated individuals. The majority (93.5%) had a history of mild COVID-19 illness. The prevalence of Delta-variant-associated post-COVID-19 conditions was similar in both vaccinated (61.4%) and unvaccinated (51.4%) groups ( Conclusions: This study is the first to describe the incidence of Delta-associated post-COVID-19 condition. In this study, COVID-19 vaccination was not associated with decreased post-COVID-19 conditions in patients with breakthrough Delta infection. These findings have important implications for provincial services planning and underscore the need to develop alternative strategies to prevent post-COVID-19 conditions.
