A First View of the Effect of a Trial of Early Mobilization on the Muscle Strength and Activities of Daily Living in Mechanically Ventilated Patients With COVID-19.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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: To retrospectively investigate the effect of early mobilization on the muscle strength and activities of daily living in patients with COVID-19 under mechanical ventilation. Design: This was a single-center, retrospective, observational study. Setting: Inpatient rehabilitation care in Japan. Participants: The study subjects were divided based on the onset of mobilization: under mechanical ventilation (n=17; aged 68.5±11.9, 13 male) and after extubation (n=11; aged 59.7±7.1, 6 male; N=28). Interventions: Mobilization, including dangle sitting, standing, walking, and muscle strengthening exercises. Main Outcome Measures: The outcome measures were Barthel Index, Medical Research Council Manual Muscle Test, and intensive care unit Mobility Scale. Results: The difference in the Barthel Index, Medical Research Council Manual Muscle Test, and intensive care unit Mobility Scale scores pre- and postintervention were not statistically significant between the 2 groups, but all significantly improved after the intervention. Conclusion: This small sample size study found no difference in the functional recovery of patients with severe COVID-19 who underwent early mobilization under mechanical ventilation relative to when it was begun after extubation.
