Former SARS-CoV-2 Infection Was Related to Decreased VO

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
The impact of former COVID-19 infection on the performance of athletes is not fully understood. We aimed to identify differences in athletes with and without former COVID-19 infections. Competitive athletes who presented for preparticipation screening between April 2020 and October 2021 were included in this study, stratified for former COVID-19 infection, and compared. Overall, 1200 athletes (mean age 21.9 ± 11.6 years; 34.3% females) were included in this study from April 2020 to October 2021. Among these, 158 (13.1%) athletes previously had COVID-19 infection. Athletes with COVID-19 infection were older (23.4 ± 7.1 vs. 21.7 ± 12.1 years,
