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

objectiveTo explore the associations between daily time in sedentary behaviour (SED) and physical activity (PA) with perceived physical capacity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and fatigue in persons with post COVID-19 condition (PCC). An additional objective was to describe changes in SED and PA levels over three months. MATERIALS AND

methodsIndividuals with PCC self-reported on physical capacity, HRQoL and fatigue. Accelerometers were used to assess daily SED and light (L), or moderate/vigorous (MV) PA, and data were collected during seven consecutive days at two assessments occasions three months apart. Spearman's rho and Wilcoxon signed rank test were applied in data analyses.

resultsFifteen individuals with PCC were included, all women with a mean age of 48 years. A significant positive correlation (r

conclusionsWe found that good perceived physical capacity and low self-reported fatigue were moderately associated with more daily time in MVPA in persons with PCC. Hence, it is important to evaluate physical activity and fatigue when recommending PA among people with PCC.
