Driving decisions after critical illness: Qualitative analysis of patient-provider reviews during ICU recovery clinic assessments.
Article in International journal of nursing studies, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03926533 (Telehealth-Enhanced Patient-Oriented Recovery Trajectory After Intensive Care Pilot Feasibility Study), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundDriving a vehicle is a functional task requiring a threshold of physical, behavioral and cognitive skills.
objectiveTo report patient-provider evaluations of driving status and driving safety assessments after critical illness.
designQualitative secondary analysis of driving-related dialog drawn from a two-arm pilot study evaluating telemedicine delivery of Intensive Care Unit Recovery Clinic assessments. Multidisciplinary providers assessed physical, psychological, and cognitive recovery during one-hour telemedicine ICU-RC assessments. Qualitative secondary analysis of patient-provider dialog specific to driving practices after critical illness. SETTING AND PATIENTS: Multidisciplinary Intensive Care Unit Recovery clinic assessment dialog between 17 patients and their providers during 3-week and/or 12-week follow-up assessments at a tertiary academic medical center in the Southeastern United States. MAIN MEASURES AND KEY
resultsThematic content analysis was performed to describe and classify driving safety discussion, driving status and driving practices after critical illness. Driving-related discussions occurred with 15 of 17 participants and were clinician-initiated. When assessed, driving status varied with participants reporting independent decisions to resume driving, delay driving and cease driving after critical illness. Patient-reported driving practices after critical illness included modifications to limit driving to medical appointments, self-assessments of trip durations, and inclusion of care partners as a safety measure for new onset fatigue while driving.
conclusionWe found that patients are largely self-navigating this stage of recovery, making subjective decisions on driving resumption and overall driving status. These results highlight that driving status changes are an often underrecognized yet salient social cost of critical illness.
