Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic, first reported in Wuhan, China, has significantly impacted global public health, research, and medical communities. Surviving COVID-19 is a new phenomenon, and existing literature lacks insight into patients' emotional responses. Aim: This pilot study aimed to explore the lived experiences of COVID-19 survivors using a descriptive phenomenological approach. Methods: The study followed the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research guidelines. A semi-structured interview guide was used to conduct in-depth interviews to extract the participants' diverse emotional and cognitive experiences, covering topics such as overall experiences, coping strategies, medical care, quarantine experience, social, spiritual, and work-related dimensions, and post-COVID-19 concerns. Analysis: The researcher transcribed audio recordings and analyzed them using Colaizzi's descriptive phenomenological analysis method. Results: The study involved two consenting adults with COVID-19, with a mean age of 39 ± 1 years. The participants' experiences were categorized into "immediate crisis," diagnosis, hospital services, transmission, life transition, physical symptoms, rehabilitation, relationship with healthcare personnel, social relationship, and treatment. Conclusion: COVID-19 survivors faced a multitude of symptoms while enduring the illness and thereafter.
