>People who had recovered from COVID-19, including those no longer reporting symptoms, exhibited significant cognitive deficits versus controls when controlling for age, gender, education level, income, racial-ethnic group, pre-existing medical disorders, tiredness, depression and anxiety.

"Regression of the same linear model with respiratory severity as the predictor indicated that people who were ill would on average be expected to have marginally higher as opposed to lower cognitive performance."

Doesn't this show no effect after controlling for confounders?
