Post-COVID conditions: co-occurrence of symptoms and challenges for comprehensive care.
Observational study in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 2026. 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
objectiveTo analyze the frequency and co-occurrence of symptoms of post-COVID conditions and investigate the association with demographic variables, history of hospitalization, and demand for healthcare.
methodA descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted with 821 participants who presented symptoms of post-COVID conditions. Descriptive analysis, association tests, and Pearson correlation were performed to identify symptom clusters.
resultsFemale gender had a higher frequency of hair loss (p < 0.001), while young adults reported a higher occurrence of headache (p = 0.003). Muscle weakness was associated with hospitalization in the acute phase (p < 0.001), while a high symptomatic burden increased the frequency of admission with vital sign checks (p < 0.001). A moderate association was identified between paresthesia in upper and lower limbs; pain in upper and lower limbs; joint pain and myalgia; anxiety and depressive symptoms; anxiety and sleep disorders; nausea and epigastric pain/heartburn; nausea and dizziness; and sore throat and runny nose.
conclusionpost-COVID conditions present a heterogeneous and multisystemic symptomatic profile, associated with demographic factors, previous severity, and greater demand for care, reinforcing the need for comprehensive care.
