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

Type 2 severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by coronavirus infection has become the most well-known pandemic infectious viral disease in the present century. This study aims to find out the post-COVID-19 infection complications via a well-designed observational study. A total of 986 recovered cases (only the period ranged between 2 to 3 months after recovery) were obtained from public and private hospitals in Kirkuk and Erbil governorates\Iraq. The admitted patients were asked to answer a questionnaire through interviews; the laboratory findings were obtained from the patients. The results suggested that approximately half of post-COVID-19 patients (%45.606) were suffering from chest pain, while (%32.357) of the cases suffered headache and chest pain. Liver enzymes (ALT, AST, and ALP) showed abnormal percent values of 38.6,24.07, and 26.09, respectively. Renal function enzymes, mainly urea, were found to be abnormal in 45.37% of recovered individuals. Furthermore, abnormal LDH levels were found in (77.9%) of post-COVID-19 patients. This finding revealed that chest pain was an inflammatory condition and liver and renal enzyme disturbances, while elevation in LDH was the predominant long-term complication in post-COVID-19 patients.
