[Structured rehabilitation after lumbar spine surgery : subacute treatment phase].
Article in Der Orthopade, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05937997 (Evaluation and Timing in an ERAS-like Structured Rehabilitation Program After Lumbar Spine Surgery), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundThere are currently no uniform standards regarding rehabilitation of patients after lumbar spine surgery. Due to significant improvements in surgical methods in recent years, an increase in postoperative training intensity is now possible. Conservative rehabilitation has yet to adapt to this reality. Earlier initiation of structured rehabilitation after the acute phase is often regarded with skepticism.
objectiveTo evaluate the effect of structured rehabilitation after lumbar spine surgery in the early phase of treatment (2 weeks after surgery), a group of seven spinal surgery clinics, two inpatient and three outpatient rehabilitation centers in the Rhine-Main area in Germany was formed. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this prospective study, 124 patients were divided into groups (A/B/C) by their surgeon, regardless of diagnosis and surgical procedure. For each group of participants, the content of therapy was preplanned.
resultsThe statistical analysis using the visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and short form-12 health survey (SF-12) to evaluate changes in impairment caused by back pain and in health-related quality of life was evaluated. In all three groups, significant improvements in VAS, ODI, and SF-12 were shown. Re-operation was unnecessary due to the absence of postoperative complications.
conclusionA structured postoperative rehabilitation program results in significant improvements in the parameters of pain and quality of life, and does not increase the risk of postoperative complications.
