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

Context: The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound global impact, leaving a lasting legacy in the form of post-COVID syndrome. This condition, experienced after recovering from the virus, manifests in symptoms, such as fatigue, cough, shortness of breath, joint pain, and brain fog, highlighting the virus's lingering influence on the human body. Aim: To Identify post-COVID syndrome symptoms among COVID-19 recovered patients from Karad Taluka. Materials and methods: A study involving 228 COVID-19-recovered individuals from a Karad tertiary care hospital used consecutive sampling. Data were collected via structured questionnaires, focused on post-COVID syndrome symptoms. Statistical analysis used: Frequency and percentage were used to analyze the presence of post-COVID syndrome symptoms. Results: A total of 228 COVID-19-recovered individuals were included in the study, of whom 53% were male and 47% were female. Most of the study subjects had 25 (10.9%) mild, 138 (60.5%) moderate, and 65 (28.5%) severe symptoms. Symptom-wise, the majority of the subjects experienced symptoms: fatigue 116 (50.8% moderate), shortness of breath 135 (58.3% moderate), cough 116 (50.8%), sore throat 115 (50.4% mild), chest pain (57% mild), joint pain 151 (66.2% severe), brain fog 103 (45% severe). Most (43%) experienced symptoms for 12 months, that is, 1 year. Conclusion: The results depict the recovered individuals continue to experience symptoms. The most common symptoms are fatigue, shortness of breath, and cough in varied severity (from mild, moderate, and severe). How to cite this article: Walvekar SS, Mohite VR.
