The biomarkers' landscape of post-COVID-19 patients can suggest selective clinical interventions.

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
In COVID-19 clinical symptoms can persist even after negativization also in individuals who have had mild or moderate disease. We here investigated the biomarkers that define the post-COVID-19 clinical state analyzing the exhaled breath condensate (EBC) of 38 post COVID-19 patients and 38 sex and age-matched healthy controls via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics. Predicted gene-modulated microRNAs (miRNAs) related to COVID-19 were quantified from EBC of 10 patients and 10 controls. Finally, clinical parameters from all post-COVID-19 patients were correlated with metabolomic data. Post-COVID-19 patients and controls showed different metabolic phenotype ("metabotype"). From the metabolites, by using enrichment analysis we identified miRNAs that resulted up-regulated (hsa-miR146a-5p) and down-regulated (hsa-miR-126-3p and hsa-miR-223-3p) in post-COVID-19. Taken together, our multiomics data indicate that post-COVID-19 patients before rehabilitation are characterized by persistent inflammation, dysregulation of liver, endovascular thrombotic and pulmonary processes, and physical impairment, which should be the primary clinical targets to contrast the post-acute sequelae of COVID-19.
