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

objectiveTo investigate whether patients experienced improved functional outcomes as a result of their admission to rehabilitation and to identify whether the service provided effective, patient-centered and goal-directed rehabilitation.

designRetrospective chart review of admission and discharge data from patients accessing the service between 2011 and 2019.

settingCommunity-based interdisciplinary rehabilitation service.

participantsConsecutive patients (N=612) admitted to the service.

interventionsRoutine care delivered with a median duration of 181 days and an interquartile range of 120-261 days.

main outcome measuresThe Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) administered on admission and discharge and an improvement ≥2 in the COPM subscales of performance and satisfaction.

resultsOf 612 participants, 96% had the COPM administered at admission (baseline) and 68% again at discharge. Performance and satisfaction were measured in 584 patients at admission, 406 at discharge, and 404 at both time points. For performance, 243 patients (60%) experienced an improvement (≥2), with an average of 2.2 points. For satisfaction, 268 patients (66%) experienced an improvement (≥2), with an average of 2.8 points. Factors influencing outcomes, differed. For each 10 year increase in patient age, the average improvement in satisfaction was 0.26 points lower (95% confidence interval, 0.07-0.45) after adjusting for sex, duration, completion, and health condition.

conclusionsIrrespective of patient-related factors and regardless of age, sex, health condition, or discharge plan, the majority of patients reported a positive functional outcome in COPM Performance and satisfaction as a result of time spent in the community-based rehabilitation service. This service provided equitable care and patient-centered, goal-focused, and outcome-based therapy that enabled patients to improve their functional capacity.
