Following the Pandemic: Exploring Long COVID's impact on Global Health through the World Heart Federation Global COVID-19 Study.
Article in Global heart, 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
Although the COVID-19 pandemic crisis has come to an end, Long COVID continues to pose a profound challenge to global health. Based on findings from the World Heart Federation (WHF) Global COVID-19 Study, an international prospective cohort study, this editorial reflects on the enduring burden of symptoms and complications among 2,535 previously hospitalized patients across 16 countries during the Omicron era. Beyond a mortality rate of 15% and clinical manifestations such as fatigue, dyspnea, and adverse cardiovascular events, the study highlighted substantial psychosocial and socioeconomic impacts, with reduced work capacity and functional limitations particularly affecting populations in low- and middle-income countries captured through EuroQol 5-dimension scale and employment data. These findings emphasize that the burden of Long COVID extends beyond individual health, with significant implications for healthcare systems and economic stability. Addressing this challenge requires ongoing multidisciplinary research, validated diagnostic criteria, novel biomarkers, and effective preventive and therapeutic strategies. Furthermore, decentralized monitoring models-exemplified by telephone-based data collection in the WHF study-may offer scalable approaches to improve surveillance and inform global health policies for current and future public health crises.
