1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionLoss of physical activity and pulmonary dysfunction with its associated complications represent two of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality following cardiac surgery.

aimTo evaluate whether a physiotherapy program based on respiratory training with or without musculoskeletal mobilization, started preoperatively, may provide a significant improvement in pulmonary and musculoskeletal recovery postoperatively in a sufficiently large sample of patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. MATERIAL AND

methodsOne-hundred and two patients with similar baseline and preoperative characteristics were assigned to a preoperative respiratory physiotherapy protocol (group R,

resultsAs compared with group C, a statistically significant improvement was observed in the two preoperatively treated groups in terms of 1) better pre- (+0.7-0.8 Lt/min,

conclusionsA benefit of combined respiratory and motor physiotherapy protocols can be expected in the groups of patients preoperatively treated, especially with the respiratory one, either before or after cardiac surgery with a faster recovery of physical-functional activities. Specifically, the motor protocol is associated with greater autonomy of running before or after cardiac surgery.
