Early physical therapy intervention in gynaecological surgery: "Case series".
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2018. 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
purposeTo implement a physical therapy intervention protocol targeting patients admitted for gynaecological surgery to the gynaecological ward of XXXX Hospital.
methodA prospective, cross-sectional and observational study was conducted with women admitted to the gynaecology ward, from June 2014 through June 2015. The study was divided into three phases with data on admissions to the gynaecology ward. A total of 565 women were included, corresponding to phases I (197), II (178) and III (190). The physical therapy staff implemented an early ambulation protocol as well as a mobility assessment.
resultsThe physical therapy protocol was implemented, and the rate of adherence was 100%. All participants received preoperative instruction on the importance of early mobilisation. On postoperative day 1, the participants in phase I walked a mean of 77.4 m. Following implementation of the physical therapy protocol, the walked distance increased to 292.6 m in phase II, followed by a slight decrease to a mean of 233 m in phase III.
conclusionsThe physical therapy protocol could be implemented, and the patients' adherence was satisfactory. Early ambulation can be optimised, and the participants began ambulation starting at 13 h after surgery.
