Symptom Experience and Perceived Health Status of People With Long COVID in Thailand.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: Despite the World Health Organization declaring COVID-19 no longer a public health emergency, reports of long COVID persist globally, raising concerns about its impact on individuals. Objective: This retrospective study aimed to explore the symptom experiences of individuals with long COVID-19 and examine the relationship between those experiences and perceived negative health status in Thailand. Methods: The study focused on individuals with moderate to severe COVID-19 infections. Between July 3, 2022 and December 1, 2022, we conducted telephone interviews with 86 individuals who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and received outpatient care in Bangkok. The COVID-19 Yorkshire Rehabilitation Screening was utilized to measure symptom occurrence, duration, severity, and health status on an 11-point numerical rating scale from 0 (none or excellent) to 10 (the worst). A Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the relationships between long COVID symptoms and negative perception of health status. Results: Among the participants, 75.6% had long COVID, with a median of three symptoms lasting for a median duration of 5.6 months. Difficulties in performing daily activities were most common, reported by 50.8% of participants. The majority (80.0%) experienced itching, headache, cognition, muscle pain, continence, and sleeping problem for 6 months. Loss of taste was the most severe symptom, with a mean severity rating of 8.8. There were significant positive relations between a negative perception of health status and multiple symptoms, symptom severity, functional disability, and additional symptoms. Conclusion: Individuals with moderate to severe COVID-19 infection who experienced long COVID had poorer perceived health status. To effectively manage and improve the health status of individuals with long COVID, nurses should provide follow-up care, assess not only the occurrence of symptoms but also their duration and severity, and evaluate performance outcomes.
