Association Between Post-COVID Consequences and Cognitive Performance in University Students: A Cross-Sectional Study.

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
Post-COVID symptoms frequently include cognitive complaints, yet evidence on objectively measured cognitive performance in large samples of young adults remains limited. This study examined associations between self-reported post-COVID consequences and objective cognitive performance in university students, with particular attention to acute COVID-19 severity. The sample comprised 7482 students aged 17-23 years: 3945 reported no previous COVID-19, 1676 reported previous COVID-19 without post-COVID consequences, and 1861 reported previous COVID-19 with post-COVID consequences. Visuospatial working memory was assessed using the Corsi Block Tapping Test (CTB), and choice-response performance was assessed using accuracy and mean correct-response latency in a four-choice reaction time task. Analyses accounted for age, sex, and clustering by university; among previously infected participants, models additionally adjusted for perceived acute COVID-19 severity. The primary adjusted analyses included 7117 participants for CTB and 6361 participants for the cleaned choice-response accuracy and latency analyses. In the three-group analysis, students reporting post-COVID consequences had slightly lower CTB scores than those without previous COVID-19 (B = -0.146, 95% CI [-0.277, -0.015],
