Imaging, Pulmonary Function, and Histopathologic Findings of Persistent Fibrosis in a Longitudinal Cohort Three Years after Severe COVID-19 Infection.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Fibrotic-like abnormalities are present in 60% of a single-center, longitudinal, multi-ethnic cohort 3-years after severe COVID-19. They are independently associated with male sex, low BMI, shorter telomere length, increased severity of illness, and mechanical ventilation; Black race and asthma are protective. Participants with fibrotic-like abnormalities are more likely to have reduced diffusion capacity and 6-minute walk distance. Fibrotic-like abnormalities persist but modestly improve over time. Transbronchial biopsies show small airways histopathology, consistent with high prevalence of air trapping in expiration, and infrequent interstitial thickening. This study highlights the need for continued monitoring of patients with persistent fibrosis after severe COVID-19.
