An Established Early Rehabilitation Therapy Demonstrating Higher Efficacy and Safety for Care of Intensive Care Unit Patients.
Trial report in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
BACKGROUND Although survival rates of critically ill patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) have improved in recent years, many risk factors cause a few serious complications. This study aimed to evaluate efficacy and safety of comprehensive early rehabilitation therapy for ICU patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study recruited ICU patients who were diagnosed as having cerebral hemorrhage or traumatic brain injury. ICU patients were randomly divided into an early rehabilitation therapy group (Observation group, n=21) and a Control group (n=21). Patients in the Control group underwent persistent monitoring of respiratory functions and blood oxygen saturation, as well as electrocardiographic monitoring. ICU patients in the Observation group underwent individualized treatments based on conventional treatments. APACHE II scores, MRC scores, and consciousness improvement rates of ICU patients were evaluated. Incidences of adverse events and complications were also assessed. RESULTS Early rehabilitation therapy significantly decreased APACHE II scores and significantly increased MRC scores compared to the Control group (p<0.05). Early rehabilitation therapy significantly improved consciousness of ICU patients compared to the Control group (p<0.05). Early rehabilitation therapy significantly reduced the incidence of complications compared to the Control group (p<0.05). Early rehabilitation therapy significantly shortened ICU or total hospital stay and mechanical ventilation time compared to the Control group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Early rehabilitation therapy decreased APACHE II scores, enhanced MRC scores, and improved consciousness of ICU patients. Moreover, early rehabilitation therapy also reduced the incidence of complications and shortened ICU or total hospital stay and mechanical ventilation time of ICU patients. Therefore, early rehabilitation therapy was shown to be effective and safe for ICU patients.
