Associations between health-related quality of life and physical function in older adults with or at risk of mobility disability after discharge from the hospital.
Trial report in European geriatric medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02905383 (Effect of a Multi-Component Exercise Program on Function and Health in Older People Recently Discharged From Hospital. A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.), which is not on this map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
purposeTo optimise the treatment for older adults after hospitalisation, thorough health status information is needed. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the associations between health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and physical function in older adults with or at risk of mobility disability after hospital discharge.
methodsThis cross-sectional study recruited 89 home-dwelling older people while inpatients within medical wards at a general hospital in Oslo, Norway. HRQOL [the Medical Outcome Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36)] and physical function [the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)] were measured a median of 49 [interquartile range (IQR) 26-116] days after discharge. Simple linear regression analyses were conducted, and multivariable regression models were fitted.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 78.3 years; 43 (48.9 %) were females. Multivariable regressions showed positive associations between SPPB and the physical subscales {physical functioning [B (95% CI) 4.51 (2.35-6.68)], role physical [B (95% CI) 5.21 (2.75-7.67)], bodily pain [B (95% CI) 3.40 (0.73-6.10)] and general health [B (95% CI) 3.12 (1.13-5.12)]}. Univariable regressions showed no significant associations between SPPB and the mental subscales {vitality [B (95% CI) 1.54 (- 0.10-3.18)], social functioning [B (95% CI) 2.34 (- 0.28-4.96)], role emotional [B (95% CI) 1.28 (- 0.96-3.52)] and mental health [B (95% CI) 1.00 (- 0.37-2.36)]}.
conclusionThe results reinforce that physical function and physical HRQOL are strongly linked, and interventions improving physical function might improve physical HRQOL. However, this hypothesis would have to be tested in a randomised controlled trial.
