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

Objective: To explore the risk factors for peripheral neuropathy (PNP) and F-wave abnormality during one-year rehabilitation for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods: This prospective cohort study included patients with COVID-19 who were discharged from Shijiazhuang People's Hospital after treatment and routine rehabilitation between December 2020 and April 2021. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors for PNP and F-wave abnormality. Results: A total of 313 patients with COVID-19 [aged 49.0 (IQR 33.0-58.0) years, and 191 (61.0%) females] were included. During one-year follow-up, 232 (74%) patients developed PNP (PNP group), and 81 (26%) did not (non-PNP group). In the PNP group, 51 (16%) patients had mononeuropathy, and 181 (58%) had polyneuropathy. Additionally, F-wave abnormality was detected in 22 (7%) out of 313 patients. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age [odds ratio (OR) = 1.22, confidence interval (CI): 1.05-1.41, Conclusion: Age might be an independent risk factor for PNP, while higher education was associated with mononeuropathy.
