1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study describes the implementation of an interdisciplinary model within the COVID-19 cohort at Hospital das Clínicas, Universidade de São Paulo (HCFMUSP). Among 1957 survivors, 749 attended the first follow-up (6‒11 months), revealing that 83% reported persistent symptoms ‒ mainly fatigue, dizziness, pain, and dyspnea ‒ highlighting the need for extended monitoring. A four-year program involving 22 study groups was established to characterize symptom frequency, severity and disability, explore clinical and sociodemographic associations, and evaluate the potential for recovery through multidisciplinary approaches. A dedicated team coordinated recruitment, teleconsultations, in-person assessments and database management. Of 749 patients, 523 completed teleconsultations, 433 attended the first visit, and 367 the second. The implementation demonstrated that interdisciplinary research enhances patient engagement, reduces fragmentation, and supports efficient and high-quality research in complex human-based studies.
