Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

This review explores the crucial role of established and emerging biomarkers in the diagnosis, management, and understanding of post-COVID-19 conditions. With COVID-19 affecting multiple organ systems, biomarkers have been instrumental in identifying ongoing inflammation and tissue damage, facilitating early diagnosis and prognostication. Specifically, markers like C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and novel entities such as soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) provide insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms and predict long-term outcomes. This review highlights the integration of these biomarkers into clinical workflows and their implications for personalized medicine, emphasizing their potential in guiding therapeutic interventions and monitoring recovery. Future directions suggest a focus on longitudinal studies to explore biomarker trajectories and their interaction with therapeutic outcomes, aiming to enhance the management of post-COVID-19 conditions and refine public health strategies.
