Factors Associated With Discharge Home Among Medical ICU Patients in an Early Mobilization Program.
Article in Critical care explorations, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 15 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.

Abstract
objectivesOne goal of early mobilization programs is to facilitate discharge home after an ICU hospitalization, but little is known about which factors are associated with this outcome. Our objective was to evaluate factors associated with discharge home among medical ICU patients in an early mobilization program who were admitted to the hospital from home.
designRetrospective cohort study of medical ICU patients in an early mobilization program.
settingTertiary care center medical ICU. PATIENTS: Medical ICU patients receiving early mobilization who were community-dwelling prior to admission.
interventionsNone. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsA comprehensive set of baseline, ICU-related, and mobilization-related factors were tested for their association with discharge home using multivariable logistic regression. Among the analytic cohort (
conclusionsAmong medical ICU patients who resided at home prior to their ICU admission, the maximum level of mobility achieved in the medical ICU was the factor most strongly associated with discharge back home. Identification of this factor upon ICU-to-ward transfer may help target mobilization plans on the ward to facilitate a goal of discharge home.
