Impact of Omicron infection on childhood health: the Beijing long-COVID study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. 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
Purpose: The aim of this prospective study was to assess the dynamic changes of persisting symptoms among children aged 6-18 years during 1-2 months after the Omicron infection based on the modified SBQ-LC in the Tongzhou cohort, Beijing. Methods: This study includes 4 serial surveys performed within January 7-9, January 14-16, January 21-23, and February 12-14 in 2023, respectively. The prediction of age and survey for eight domains in the Rasch 0-100 linear score was undertaken by generalized additive mixed model. Results: Total 1,536 children (median age: 13 years, boys: 49.9%) had completed questionnaires across 4 surveys. Information on 51 symptoms was collected, with each scored on a 4-point rating scale. Generally, the distribution of age with all domains followed the N-shaped geometry, and that of survey followed the inverse J-shaped geometry. The Rasch linear score hit the lowest level among children aged 6-8 years, and reached the peak among children aged 12-13 years. The scores of all domains sharply declined from the first to the third survey, and remained stable between the third and the fourth survey. At the fourth survey, 95.05 and 51.37% children still had one or more problems relating to breathing and mental health, respectively, and the percentage of rest six domains was reduced to less than 20%. Conclusion: Our findings indicate the multifaceted impact of Omicron infection on childhood health, especially among children aged 12-13 years. Moreover, breathing and mental health related problems still persisted during 1-to-2-month Omicron infection period.
