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
purposesWe aim to assess the health-related quality of life of individuals with long COVID in Indonesia at < 6 months, 6–12 months, 12–24 months, and > 24 months after recovery from the initial COVID-19 diagnosis.
methodsDescriptive cross-sectional online surveys were administered to adults who self-reported experiencing one or more symptoms associated with long COVID. The short form health survey (SF-36) was used to evaluate health-related quality of life.
resultsAmong 200 participants (N = 200), 5% had recovered from COVID-19 less than six months prior, 5% between six and 12 months ago, 24% between 12 and 24 months ago, and 60% over 24 months ago. The most common long COVID symptoms reported at the four time points examined included fatigue, difficulties with concentration, sleep disorders, muscle pain, and anxiety. While the prevalence of poor health-related quality of life was lower at four distinct intervals, mental health challenges were experienced by the majority of participants (56.1%). This ongoing struggle could lead to a diminished quality of life for individuals with long COVID, even after recovering from the initial COVID-19 infection for more than 24 months.
conclusionsIndividuals with long COVID may experience a deterioration in their quality of life due to mental health issues, even if they have recovered from the initial COVID-19 infection for over 24 months. Therefore, it is crucial to offer adequate support to these individuals.
