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

Numerous hypotheses regarding the pathogenetic mechanisms of long COVID have been proposed. Immune dysregulation and autoimmunity are among the leading hypotheses. In this article, we present two clinical cases of long COVID. The first case demonstrates the phenotype of long COVID with pain and musculoskeletal symptoms, which is often associated with autoimmunity and mimics systemic connective tissue diseases. In the second case, a high titer of antinuclear antibodies was observed after SARS-CoV-2 infection, but the clinical symptoms were limited to fever and headache. Only a comprehensive evaluation of clinical symptoms and thorough objective examination can confirm or exclude autoimmune diseases after a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection. A systematic search in the PubMed Medline database was carried out for studies focusing on immune dysregulation, autoimmunity, and its association with the clinical phenotype of long COVID. The question of the role of autoimmunity in the development of long COVID and the management approaches are discussed.
