Implementation of an ICU Recovery Clinic at a Tertiary Care Academic Center.

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
Post-ICU clinics may facilitate the care of survivors of critical illness, but there is a paucity of data describing post-ICU clinic implementation. We sought to describe implementation of our ICU recovery clinic, including an assessment of barriers and facilitators to clinic attendance.
designAdults admitted to the medical ICU of a large tertiary care academic hospital with shock and/or respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation were screened for participation in a newly formed ICU recovery clinic. Participant selection and attendance rates were tracked. Reasons for nonattendance were assessed by phone call in a subset of patients.
settingA newly formed ICU recovery clinic of a large tertiary care academic hospital. PATIENTS: All patients admitted to the medical ICU were screened.
interventionsICU recovery clinic appointments were scheduled for all eligible patients. A subset of nonattenders were called to assess reasons for nonattendance. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsOver 2 years, we admitted 5,510 patients to our medical ICU. Three hundred sixty-two were screened into the recovery clinic. One-hundred sixty-six were not scheduled for clinic; major reasons included discharge to hospice/death in the hospital (
conclusionsICU recovery clinics may address the needs of survivors of critical illness. Barriers to clinic attendance include high mortality rates, high rates of clinic appointment cancelations and nonattendance, and discharge to locations such as skilled nursing facilities or long-term acute care hospitals. Improved communication to patients about the role of the clinic may facilitate attendance and minimize canceled appointments.
