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.

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.

Abstract

Objectives: To analyse the effectiveness of a physical exercise programme guided by a mobile health technology system (COVIDReApp) for patients with post-acute COVID-19 syndrome. This syndrome is a multisystem disease that occurs in people with a history of COVID-19 between 1 and 3 months after the onset of the disease. This study will assess the impact of the intervention on fatigue, post-exertional dyspnoea, quality of life, pain severity, physical fitness, anxiety, depression and cognitive function. We also aim to analyse whether there are associations between the variables studied and the evolution of these associations during follow-up. Design: A single-blind randomised controlled trial. Methods: One hundred patients diagnosed with post-acute COVID-19 will be enrolled and randomly assigned to two groups. The experimental group will perform the intervention through a physical exercise programme guided by the COVIDReApp system, whereas the control group will perform the programme in paper format. Study outcomes will be collected at baseline and at 4, 12 and 24 weeks. Student's Discussion: This study is based on current evidence regarding exercise prescription recommendations for patients with post-acute COVID-19 syndrome. Our intervention is supported by a solid theoretical framework; however, challenges include tailoring the physical exercise programme to everyone's predominant symptoms and ensuring adherence to the programme. Trial registration number: NCT05725538.
