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

Objective: The pathogenesis of Long COVID (LC) remains poorly understood, with the analysis of immune responses often obscured by variables such as vaccination and reinfection. This study aimed to determine the primary immunological footprint of LC by examining a specific cohort that minimizes these confounding factors. Methods: We analyzed a Brazilian cohort of patients recruited between September 2020 and February 2021, during the first wave of the pandemic (Wuhan-Hu-1 variant), comprising mostly unvaccinated individuals. We assessed humoral responses to SARS-CoV-2 and latent viruses in 104 patients. Additionally, we investigated the immune signatures of CD4 Results: Systemic humoral responses to SARS-CoV-2 and reactivated latent viruses were comparable between the LC and RC groups, as were the overall distributions of CD4 Discussion: Our findings imply that LC immunopathology is driven by a qualitative T cell dysfunction characterized by CD4
