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

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a life-threatening respiratory disease characterized by severe acute infection. In some cases, COVID-19 symptoms may persist for a long term, posing a significant social problem. Long-term COVID-19 symptoms resemble those observed in various autoimmune diseases, such as dermatomyositis and polymyositis. In this report, we present the case of a 55-year-old woman who had been experiencing persistent dyspnea on exertion since contracting COVID-19 a month ago and was subsequently diagnosed with anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS). The patient presented with fever, dyspnea, rash, mechanic's hands, and arthritis. Computed tomography imaging revealed findings indicative of interstitial pneumonia. Immunological test results were positive for anti-EJ antibody, leading to a diagnosis of ASS based on Solomon's established criteria. The patient's condition improved following treatment with prednisolone, tacrolimus, and intravenous cyclophosphamide. Pathological findings of transbronchial biopsy revealed nonspecific interstitial pneumonia with organizing pneumonia, leading to speculation that ASS had developed after COVID-19. Given the scarcity of reports on ASS development post COVID-19, we conducted a literature review and compared our present case to previous ones. This report highlights the importance of considering ASS in the differential diagnosis of patients with long-term COVID-19 symptoms.
