Have we found the prevention for intensive care unit-acquired paresis?
Article in Critical care (London, England), 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Several recent reports have highlighted the utility of transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation to preserve muscle mass and strength in ICU patients. Specifically, Serafim Nanas and colleagues report a significant reduction in the odds of ICU-acquired weakness with its use. Whether these findings are relevant to all patients with acute respiratory failure remains to be seen. As critical care studies attempt to study the outcome of physical recovery, significant additional data need to be provided in order for the results to be reported in the appropriate context. Future studies need to be performed in a setting where secondary injuries like sedation and immobilization are quantified so any benefit can be weighed against other interventions available.
