Multidisciplinary rehabilitation in intensive care for COVID-19: randomised controlled trial.
Article in ERJ open research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has led to an increasing number of patients in intensive care units (ICUs). The size of this post-ICU cohort will be unprecedented, with many patients vulnerable to post-intensive care syndrome. We analysed the respiratory and functional effects of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme on functional performance, in patients hospitalised in the ICU due to COVID-19. We conducted a randomised controlled clinical trial. 96 patients who fulfilled the eligibility criteria were randomised into control or intervention group. The control group received standard of care in the ICU, and the intervention group received a functional and respiratory rehabilitation protocol that included medical, nursing, physiotherapy and occupational therapy interventions. At discharge, the intervention group showed significantly better muscular strength and respiratory capacity, and significantly fewer days of hospitalisation (12.90±5.8
