The impact of COVID-19: consequences of a 3-Year struggle in Iran.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe disability-adjusted life year (DALY) approach gives policymakers a clear understanding of the scale of the health issue. This study aimed to estimate DALYs attributed to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) for the population of Bushehr province and, by extension, the Iranian population during the first three years of the pandemic.
methodThis retrospective study was performed to estimate the DALY of COVID-19 in Iran and Bushehr province from 2021 to 2023. The concentration index and Gini coefficient were used to measure Covid-related deaths among the counties of Bushehr provinces according to the availability of hospital beds. A one-way sensitivity analysis was also performed to account for data uncertainties.
resultThe study revealed that during the study period, there were 2,554 deaths due to COVID-19 in Bushehr province. The calculated DALYs for Bushehr province and Iran were 36,004 and 2,073,036, respectively. Among these DALYs, 99.25% were YLLs, while the remaining 0.75% were YLDs. In Bushehr province, the concentration index and calculated Gini coefficient for 2022 were 0.25 and 0.49, respectively.
conclusionThe results revealed that the burden of COVID-19 in Iran was significantly high in 2021 and 2022. Implementing specific policies and strategies at the national level is imperative. These policies should prioritize the allocation of vital resources, improve disease surveillance systems, and optimize service delivery. Concurrently, at the provincial level, concerted efforts must be made to enhance inter-sectoral collaboration, promote health literacy, and effectively monitor processes.
