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

objectivesThis study aimed to longitudinally follow self-reported symptoms of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and fatigue during the first year after hospitalization because of COVID-19.

designThe study was an observational longitudinal study. METHODS AND

participantsBetween July 2020, and February 2021, 211 patients aged ≥ 18 years, hospitalized ≥ 5 days at 5 hospitals in Region Västra Götaland, who had COVID-19, and were non-contagious (at study enrolment) were included in the baseline assessment. Of these, 168 (79.6%) patients completed mental health questionnaires at a 3-month follow-up, and 172 (83.1%) at a 12-month follow-up. A total of 120 (56.9%) participants who completed at least 1 questionnaire at both the 3- and 12-month follow-ups were analysed; the majority were male (n = 78, 65.0%).

resultsThere was an improvement in all patients from 3 to 12 months on the fatigue subscales "reduced activity" (p = 0.02) and "physical fatigue" (p = 0.04). No other significant mental health improvements were found. At 12 months, 34 (28.4%) were classified as having anxiety symptoms, 29 (24.1%) as having depression symptoms, and 40 (33.3%) had symptoms of probable post-traumatic stress disorder.

conclusionsParticipants in the present study did not report full mental health recovery 1 year after hospitalization for COVID-19.
