Treatment of post-COVID symptoms with auricular vagus nerve stimulation.

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
We present a retrospective analysis of nine long COVID patients undergoing auricular vagus nerve stimulation for 4 weeks. Questionnaires screening for 35 symptoms and 22 aspects of quality of life showed improvements in 28/35 symptoms immediately after treatment, of which 19 persisted at the 12-week follow-up. Most benefits were reported with regards to pain, fatigue, post-exertional malaise, sleep and dysautonomia. Furthermore, the vast majority (19 out of 22) of aspects of quality of life were reported to have improved to various degrees.
