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

backgroundIdentifying barriers to early mobilization is essential for the management of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Our objective was to identify the potential barriers to early mobilization in adult patients using the Perme ICU Mobility Score (Perme Score) and its relationship with days of mechanical ventilation (MV) and length of stay in ICU.

methodsThis was a pilot, observational, and prospective study. We included 142 adult patients admitted to a 14-bed ICU, in a fourth-level complexity hospital in Cali, Colombia. The Perme Score was used to evaluate potential barriers to mobility. We used the Spearman's correlation coefficient to find potential correlations between the number of barriers to mobility per patient and the duration of MV and ICU stay.

resultsWe identified significant inverse correlations between total days in MV and the total score of barriers to mobility at ICU admission (

conclusionsUsing the Perme Score we identified potential barriers to mobility upon admission to the ICU that were maintained until discharge. Our findings indicate a strong positive correlation at ICU admission between the total Perme Score and the total score of "Category #2 - Potential Mobility Barriers" in the Perme Score.
