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

introductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted health, extending beyond the acute phase of illness. Among young adults, "long COVID" has raised concerns regarding respiratory and cardiovascular endurance. This study evaluates pulmonary function test (PFT), distance travelled in the 6-min walk test (6MWT), and changes in SpO2 and respiratory rate before and after 6MWT in COVID-19 convalescent patients compared to healthy controls.

methodsThis case-control study included 45 controls and 45 COVID-19 convalescent patients confirmed by RT-PCR. Data on PFT, distance travelled in 6MWT, SpO2, and respiratory rate were collected. The associations were analyzed using the Student t-test and ANOVA, with p < 0.05 considered significant.

resultsSignificant reductions were observed in FVC (p = 0.02), FEV

conclusionsCOVID-19 convalescent patients exhibited significant declines in FVC, FEV
