Change of Objectively-Measured Physical Activity during Geriatric Rehabilitation.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
This prospective study investigated feasibility and sensitivity of sensor-based physical activity (PA) measures to monitor changes in PA during geriatric rehabilitation and its relation to clinical parameters at admission. PA was routinely measured at day 2 and day 15 after admission in 647 patients (70.2% women, mean age = 82.0 (SD = 7.19) years) of a German geriatric hospital using a thigh-worn accelerometer. Clinical records were used to include age, Barthel Index, diagnosis, mobility, orientation and cognition. Mean values and 95% confidence intervals (95%-CI) of walking duration, walking bout duration and number of sit-to-stand transfers were calculated to quantify different domains of PA. All observed PA parameters improved during rehabilitation, regardless of age, diagnosis or physical and cognitive function at admission. Walking duration increased by 12.1 (95%-CI: 10.3; 13.8) min, walking bout duration by 2.39 (95%-CI: 1.77; 3.00) s, and number of sit-to-stand transfers by 7 (95%-CI: 5; 8). Floor and ceiling effects were not observed. Walking duration at day 2 as well as day 15 was continuously associated with Barthel Index and statistically significant improved for all levels of Barthel Index. In summary, this study showed that sensor-based PA monitoring is feasible to assess the individual progress in geriatric rehabilitation patients.
