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

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may lead to post-acute physical function deterioration due to intensive-care-unit-acquired weakness-related sarcopenia and dyspnea. Limited reports have examined the effects of rehabilitation and nutritional therapy on patients with post-acute COVID-19. We present the case of a 67-year-old man, who was admitted for the treatment of post-acute severe COVID-19, who benefited from rehabilitation nutrition. When the patient's condition stabilized, sarcopenia and malnutrition were observed, and rehabilitation nutrition was implemented. The physical therapist implemented a program focused mainly on resistance training and aerobic exercise, and the dietitian provided oral nutritional supplements and hospital food that met the patient's energy and protein intake requirements. Comparing the initial evaluations with those at discharge, factors affecting nutritional status, such as body mass index and skeletal muscle mass index, and physical functions, such as grip strength and walking speed, and dyspnea, had improved. The patient was discharged and returned to work. This case suggests improvements in the nutritional status and physical functions of post-acute severe COVID-19 patients by interventions following rehabilitation nutrition.
