Role of Intensified Lung Physiotherapy Bundle on the Occurrence of Pneumonia After Cardiac Surgery.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
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
Objective: The role of intensified lung physiotherapy bundle after cardiac surgery was investigated. Methods: A before- and after-surgery comparison was conducted between the study from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019 (control group), when traditional lung physiotherapy bundle was used, and from January 1, 2020 to May 1, 2021 (study group), when the intensified bundle was used. The baseline data, clinical features, incidence of postoperative pneumonia, and prognoses of all the enrolled cardiac surgery patients were analyzed. Results: In accordance with the study criteria, 358 patients were enrolled. The incidence rate of postoperative pneumonia was significantly lower in the study group than in the control group (14.2 vs. 22.7%, Conclusions: Our intensified lung physiotherapy bundle potentially reduces the rate of postoperative pneumonia after cardiac surgery. This bundle might also be adopted as a suitable reference guide for the prevention of other postoperative pulmonary complications.
