Prevalence and Predictors of Post-Acute COVID-19 Symptoms in Italian Primary Care Patients.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundDespite all the progress in the management of acute COVID-19, it is still not clear why some people continue to experience symptoms after recovery. Using data from a self-administered online survey, we assessed the prevalence and predictors of post-acute COVID-19 in an unselected population followed by GPs.
methodsPatients ≥18 years with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis were included. The survey collected information on demographics, risk factors, COVID-19 course and symptomatology. Fatigue and Quality of Life questionnaires were also administered. Descriptive statistics were used to describe patients' characteristics, stratified as acute and post-acute COVID-19. Logistic regression models were used to assess the association between clinical characteristics and post-acute COVID-19.
resultsA total of 1108 surveys were analyzed. Nearly 29% of patients reported post-acute COVID-19. The more persistent symptoms were fatigue, memory and concentration impairment. Adjusted Odds Ratio (OR) showed a significantly higher probability of post-acute COVID-19 for women compared to men (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.4-2.5), for age >50 years than ≤50 years (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.2-2.2), for BMI > 25 compared to BMI ≤ 25 (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.1-2.1) and those with autoimmune diseases, compared to those without (OR 1.8 95% CI 1.1-2.9). In addition, a significant association was found with COVID-19 hospitalization, anxiety and allergies. We found that post-acute COVID-19 patients showed a higher fatigue and a worst quality of life.
conclusionsThese findings suggest the need for tailored personalized strategies to improve the management of patients with post-acute COVID-19.
