Increasing daily duration of rehabilitation for inpatients with sporadic inclusion body myositis may contribute to improvement in activities of daily living: A nationwide database cohort study.
Article in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 2023. 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
objectiveTo analyse the association between the daily duration of rehabilitation for inpatients with sporadic inclusion body myositis and improvement in activities of daily living, using a Japanese nationwide inpatient administrative claims database.
methodsData were extracted regarding inpatients with sporadic inclusion body myositis who had undergone rehabilitation between 1 April 2018 and 31 March 2021. The mean daily duration of rehabilitation was categorized into 2 groups: > 1.0 h (longer rehabilitation) and ≤ 1.0 h (shorter rehabilitation). The main outcome was improvement in activities of daily living from admission to discharge, measured using the Barthel Index. For the main analysis, a generalized linear model was used.
resultsIn total, 424 patients with sporadic inclusion body myositis met the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the study. The main analysis found a significant difference in improvement in activities of daily living between the longer rehabilitation and shorter rehabilitation groups after adjusting for confounders (risk ratio (95% confidence interval), 1.37 (1.06-1.78)).
conclusionA longer daily duration of rehabilitation results in improved activities of daily living for inpatients with sporadic inclusion body myositis.
