Analysis of physical function, muscle strength, and pulmonary function in surgical cancer patients: a prospective cohort study.

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
The aim of this study was to investigate mobility, physical functioning, peripheral muscle strength, inspiratory muscle strength and pulmonary function in surgical cancer patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). We conducted a prospective cohort study with 85 patients. Mobility, physical functioning, peripheral muscle strength, inspiratory muscle strength, and pulmonary function were assessed using the following tests: ICU Mobility Scale (IMS); Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment (CPAx); handgrip strength and Medical Research Council Sum-Score (MRC-SS); maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and S-Index; and peak inspiratory flow, respectively. The assessments were undertaken at ICU admission and discharge. The data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk and Wilcoxon tests and Spearman's correlation coefficient. Significant differences in inspiratory muscle strength, CPAx, grip strength, MRC-SS, MIP, S-Index, and peak inspiratory flow scores were observed between ICU admission and discharge. Grip strength showed a moderate correlation with MIP at admission and discharge. The findings also show a moderate correlation between S-Index scores and both MIP and peak inspiratory flow scores at admission and a strong correlation at discharge. Patients showed a gradual improvement in mobility, physical functioning, peripheral and inspiratory muscle strength, and inspiratory flow during their stay in the ICU.
