Postacute Sequelae From SARS-CoV-2 at the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics: An Examination of the Effects of Long COVID in an Underserved Population Utilizing Manual Extraction of Electronic Health Records.

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
Background: Although there has been a steady decrease in morbidity and mortality from the SARS-CoV-2 virus since the 2020-2021 period, thousands of Americans are still infected with the virus daily. Some proportion of these infected individuals will go on to develop postacute sequelae from SARS-CoV-2 (PASC, or Long COVID), manifesting symptoms 4 weeks or more after recovery from COVID-19. PASC and its underlying pathophysiology are still poorly described and understood. Although hundreds of peer-reviewed, published investigations on Long COVID exist, few have focused on underserved urban patient populations. Most of the published research has involved reviews of diagnostic codes from electronic health records, or responses to questionnaires. Methods: We sought to review Long COVID in an underserved population in Chicago, and to go beyond electronic health record reviews of diagnostic codes, utilizing in-depth chart reviews, gleaned via manual extraction, focusing on notations of care providers. We investigated which specific preexisting conditions, if any, might be associated with specific Long COVID symptomatology's, and if any preexisting conditions predicted Long COVID. Study participants included 204 Long COVID patients, 98 COVID-19-positive patients, and 104 healthy (no history of COVID-19 infection) patients from an inner-city health system caring for underserved communities, whose records were reviewed via manual data extraction from electronic health records, focusing on provider notes in patient charts. Results: Our Long COVID symptom frequencies were distinct compared to frequencies from other reviews that did not focus on underserved populations and done with medical records when only diagnostic codes are utilized. Preexisting medical conditions did not predict similar Long COVID symptomologies, save for the significant association between preexisting cough/dyspnea/pulmonary conditions and preexisting migraine/headache and their analogous Long COVID symptoms. Conclusions: The odds of having Long COVID increased comparatively in subjects hospitalized with COVID-19, subjects with BMI >30, and female subjects.
