The role of the functional independence measure score in predicting the home discharge of inpatients with cerebrovascular diseases in convalescent rehabilitation wards.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
[Purpose] To clarify the cutoff point of the Functional Independence Measure tool for predicting home discharge of patients in convalescent rehabilitation wards. [Participants and Methods] This retrospective observational study analyzed the data of 91 inpatients with cerebrovascular disease who received rehabilitation treatment at a convalescent rehabilitation ward. We categorized the participants into two groups: the home-discharged group and the non-home discharged group. We divided the outcome parameters in the two groups into different categories and compared them using the Mann-Whitney U test. To identify the relevant cutoff points in a clinical setting, we applied the receiver operating characteristic curve. [Results] In patients with cerebrovascular disease, the Functional Independence Measure motor, cognitive, and total scores were significantly higher in the home-discharged group than in the non-home discharged group. We statistically calculated the Functional Independence Measure motor score cutoff point that can predict home discharge, and the predicted Functional Independence Measure motor score at the time of hospitalization was 53.5-60.0 points. [Conclusion] It is important to start rehabilitation at an early stage and increase the amount of training to increase the likelihood of returning home.
