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

Background: This study examined the regional distribution of glial activation in essential workers with neurological post-acute sequelae of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections (N-PASC). Methods: We injected ≤185 MBq of [ Results: Participants at midlife survived mild to moderate COVID-19 without hospitalization but reported onset of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) for, on average, 22 months before undergoing neuroimaging. Hippocampal V Conclusion: The results from this study imply that neuroimmune response is a distinct and identifiable characteristic of brain fog after COVID-19. Results suggest that [
