Outcomes of Physiotherapy on Activities of Daily Living and Discharge to the Community in Psychiatric Long-term Care Ward Patients.
Article in Physical therapy research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the outcomes of physiotherapy on patients in psychiatric long-term care wards in Japan and to identify the characteristics of patients who have been discharged to the community.
methodsThe subjects comprised 50 patients who were admitted to the psychiatric long-term care wards at four different hospitals in Japan and prescribed physiotherapy. General physiotherapy for the patients' diseases was provided. The main outcome was whether a patient was discharged to the community (discharged group) or remained hospitalized (hospitalized group) at the end of physiotherapy. Basic subject characteristics, including age, sex, F-code, classification of the diagnosis that led to physiotherapy, length of hospital stay, and length of physiotherapy, were collected from medical records. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) tool was administered at the initial and final evaluations.
resultsAt the end of physiotherapy, there were 14 subjects in the discharged group and 36 subjects in the hospitalized group. There were significant differences in the classification of diagnosis, length of stay (LOS), and classification of LOS between the two groups. Two-way analysis of variance showed interactions between the FIM subitems of self-care, transfer, and locomotion.
conclusionThe discharged group had higher FIM scores at the start of physiotherapy and a greater FIM gain.
