Relationship between lifestyle: physical activity, diet, smoking, and the duration of symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 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
In this study, patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2/coronavirus 2019 (SARS-CoV-2/COVID-2019) had their diets, levels of physical activity, and smoking habits evaluated, along with the effects of these parameters on disease symptom duration. The study followed a cross-sectional design. Data were collected from a group of SARS-CoV-2-infected patients who were tested at the Regional Science and Technology Center from January to December 2021. The survey research included a cohort of 3,155 SARS-CoV-2 patients. Nasopharyngeal swab samples were tested using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), confirming infection by detecting the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. The data did not identify any potentially harmful effects of cigarette smoking on the duration of COVID-19 symptoms. It was confirmed that a high-calorie diet was associated with a reduction or absence of disease symptoms. The results confirmed that physical activity positively affected the duration of COVID-19 symptoms by shortening it (p ≤ 0.05). The data demonstrated a relationship between cigarette smoking, diet, physical activity, and the severity of symptoms during COVID-19 infection.
