Functional recovery 2-years after hospitalization for COVID-19: Insights from the COREG-FR extension study.
Observational study in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04602260 (Functional Recovery of Older Hospitalised Patients With COVID-19), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
introductionCOVID-19 infection can lead to multi-organ dysfunction, which has been shown to contribute to the physical disability seen in people after hospital discharge. We aimed to understand the effects of hospitalization for COVID-19 on mobility, cognition, and daily activities over 24-months of follow up. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a 24-month extension of the COREG-FR prospective cohort study (NCT04602260). We enrolled consecutive adult patients (≥18 years) with lab confirmed SARS-Cov-2 infection who were admitted to five Ontario, Canada hospitals between August 21, 2020, and December 21, 2021. Patients were excluded if they resided in an institution (e.g., long term care facility), had severe premorbid physical function limitations (e.g., unable to stand independently) or had cognitive impairment which limited their ability to complete follow-up assessment. We assessed mobility and cognitive status using the Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) Basic Mobility Domain and Cognitive Domain, respectively. Deficits from premorbid status were determined using the minimal clinically important differences in mobility (≥ 3.3) and cognition (≥ 5.5). We also asked participants how much their COVID-19 recovery affected their daily activities within the preceding week with response options from 'not at all' to 'all the time'.
resultsAmong the 215 participants who participated 12-months after hospital discharge, 170 (79%) consented to the 24-month follow-up. The mean (standard deviation) age was 61.2 (12.7) years and 54% (n = 91) of participants who were male. Compared to pre-morbid function, mobility and cognitive deficits were present in 57% and 41% of participants, respectively. Furthermore, 59% of participants reported COVID-19 continued to impact their daily activities.
conclusionAt 24-months after hospitalization for COVID-19, many participants experience persistent mobility and cognitive deficits. Future work should aim to develop comprehensive rehabilitation strategies for those recovering from COVID-19 which target mobility and cognitive function.
