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

backgroundFor the treatment of the symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome, no causal therapy is currently widely recommended according to evidence-based criteria. The overarching goal of the intervention study over a 3-year period (Q1-2021-Q4-2023) was to evaluate the changes in the key symptoms of fatigue and sensorimotor instability through individualized stress-controlled training therapy and through intensified cognitive behavioral therapy. MATERIAL AND

methodsIn the 3‑year period 407 vaccinated nucleocapsid positive patients were treated at the Post-COVID-19 Center Lausitz (Senftenberg). In 78 (around 19%) fatigue/immunometabolic depression and sensorimotor instability were identified as the leading syndromes. The evaluation of the individualized stress-controlled training therapy was based on the specific post-COVID-19 syndrome and motor fatigue parameters. The secondary psychosomatic syndrome was assessed using cognitive fatigue parameters and cognitive behavioral therapy instruments. The investigation of -parameters influencing behavior took place in Q2-2023-Q4-2023 with a guide-supported qualitative interview among the participants.

resultsThe post-COVID-19 key symptoms "fatigue," "sensorimotor instability," "neuropsychiatric symptoms," "cardiac/autonomic dysfunction," and "pain" improved significantly in the overall cohort and in the gender-specific analysis. A deterioration occurred in "secondary psychosomatic symptoms". A therapeutic effect was demonstrated for all motor fatigue parameters for the entire cohort using the Cohen's d value. An intensification of cognitive behavioral therapy achieved positive effects through an increasing development of the patients' own activity and their self-control using persuasion and gamification.
