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

Pulmonary complications remain a significant challenge for COVID-19 survivors, necessitating advanced diagnostic approaches for long-term assessment. We present a curated, open-access dataset of pulmonary function measurements-including nitric oxide (DLNO) and carbon monoxide (DLCO) diffusing capacities-in 572 post-COVID-19 patients and 72 healthy controls (filtered from an original cohort of 726 survivors and 126 controls). Collected across eight international centres, the data include demographics, spirometry, lung volumes, and 5-6 s single-breath DLNO
