A Step Forward in Long COVID Research: Validating the Post-COVID Cognitive Impairment Scale.
Article in European journal of investigation in health, psychology and education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Long COVID, or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, includes a variety of enduring symptoms that endure beyond the acute phase of the illness, impacting multiple facets of patients' psychological and physical health. The persistent symptoms encompass fatigue, breathing difficulties, musculoskeletal pain, and cognitive impairments, which can significantly affect daily functioning and overall quality of life. The objective of this study was to create and validate the accuracy of the Post-COVID Cognitive Impairment Scale, which is used to evaluate cognitive impairments resulting from a COVID-19 infection. This study was conducted in Iran between January and September 2023. It consisted of three phases: developing the scale, evaluating its content validity with experts, and validating its structure with 454 participants using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The exploratory factor analysis revealed two variables, namely memory and attention, which accounted for 40.38% of the variation. Confirmatory factor analysis verified the model's fit, with indices indicating satisfactory alignment: CMIN/DF = 2.80, RMSEA = 0.06, SRMR = 0.05, CFI = 0.93, and TLI = 0.92. The factor loadings were statistically significant (
