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

The rehabilitation of patients with an amputation is challenging and an example of an interdisciplinary team approach. Knowledge of the principal surgical techniques and the needs for a good prosthetic fitting is mandatory for the team members. According to the ideas of International Classification of Functioning, Disabilities and Handicaps the goal of the rehabilitation is to achieve the highest possible participation in private, work and social life of the patient. Within the team a clear definition of responsibilities is necessary, as well as an intensive communication structure. The patient himself plays a major role. This rehabilitation is complex, in terms of both personal and resource use. Depending on the level of amputation, the usual rehabilitation times range between 4 to 12 weeks for the lower extremity; for the arms, the time varies greatly from person to person. Longer rehabilitation times seem to ensure better treatment outcomes in the long term.
