ArticleHeart & lung : the journal of critical care
A multisite study of multidisciplinary ICU team member beliefs toward early mobility.
Article in Heart & lung : the journal of critical care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundEarly mobility is underutilized in critical care.
objectiveDescribe multidisciplinary intensive care unit (ICU) providers beliefs about the conduct of early mobility during critical illness.
methodsA 7-item elicitation survey was administered to a multidisciplinary sample of ICU team members. We conducted independent thematic analysis of n = 95 surveys.
resultsAnalysis resulted in three themes: immediate risk vs. long-term reward conflict, nurse is the initiator and coordinator of early mobilization, and situational factors. Staffing was the primary facilitator and barrier to early mobility. Enablers included protection from complications of hospitalization, reduced hospital length of stay, and improved patient morale. Barriers strongly revolved around team member risk aversion (e.g., falls, hemodynamic instability, line dislodgment). Nurses were equally identified as positive and negative referents for early mobility.
conclusionsStrong positive and negative attitudinal beliefs were elicited. Early mobility is a protective behavior that requires sufficient numbers of trained staff and equipment.
