The effects of nurse driven mobility intervention (NDMI) on activities of daily living, mobility, fear of falling, and balance performance in hospitalized older patients: A pilot study.
Article in Geriatric nursing (New York, N.Y.). 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
A decrease in mobilization during hospitalization leads to a decline in physical function for older patients, and nurses play a critical role in mobility promotion. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the feasibility of Nurse Driven Mobility Intervention (NDMI) in improving activities of daily living, mobility, fear of falling, balance performance, and maladaptive fall risk appraisal using a one-group pretest-posttest design. NDMI incorporates a multidisciplinary care team, early assessment, timely and frequent mobilization, and constant encouragement. A post-intervention interview was also conducted to explore the barriers and facilitators for mobilization during hospitalization. The result shows a significant improvement in balance performance.
