Incidence and Risk Factors of Worsened Activities of Daily Living Status Three Months after Intensive Care Unit Discharge among Critically Ill Patients: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: We aimed to determine risk factors associated with worsened activity of daily living (ADL) status three months after intensive care unit (ICU) discharge. Methods: In this prospective, observational study, we enrolled critically ill adult patients that were emergently admitted to an ICU. We assessed ADL status by Barthel index score prior to ICU admission and three months after ICU discharge. The primary outcome was worsened ADL status, defined as a ≥10 decrease in Barthel index score. Results: We enrolled 102 patients (median age was 72 years old, 55% were male, and 87% received mechanical ventilation during ICU stay), and 42 patients (41%) had worsened ADL status three months after discharge from ICU. Multivariate analysis revealed that older age (>70 years old; adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 3.68; 95% confidence interval (95%CI) 1.33−10.19), high burden of chronic illness (aOR 4.11; 95%CI 1.43−11.81), and longer duration of mechanical ventilation (≥4 days; aOR 2.83; 95%CI 1.04−7.69) were independent risk factors for worsened ADL status at three months. Conclusions: Almost half of the critically ill adult patients in this cohort had worsened ADL status after ICU discharge. Older age, high burden of chronic illness, and longer duration of mechanical ventilation were risk factors for worsened ADL status.
