Daytime activity and sleep are associated with motor function in older intensive care unit survivors.
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 3 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
backgroundHospitalized older intensive care unit (ICU) survivors are often inactive and experience sleep disturbances.
objectiveWe explored associations between post-ICU activity, sleep/rest, and motor function among hospitalized older ICU survivors.
methodsWe enrolled 30 older ICU survivors, ages 65 and older, within 24-48 h of ICU discharge. Actigraphy measured post-ICU activity and sleep/rest. Selected measures from the National Institutes of Health Toolbox Motor Battery assessed grip strength and dexterity. Multivariate regression examined associations between post-ICU activity, sleep/rest, and motor function, adjusting for covariates.
resultsLower daytime activity (β = 0.258, p = .035) and greater daytime sleep/rest (β = -0.295, p = .022) were associated with worse grip strength. Lower daytime activity (β = -0.376, p = .037) and greater daytime sleep/rest (β = 0.409, p = .026) were associated with worse dexterity.
conclusionPost-ICU inactivity and prolonged rest periods are associated with worse motor function in hospitalized older ICU survivors.
