Physical Rehabilitation Before and After Lung Transplantation for COVID-19 ARDS: A Case Report.
Article in Physiotherapy Canada. Physiotherapie Canada, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Purpose: To describe the functional trajectory and physical rehabilitation of an individual who underwent lung transplantation for COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Client Description: A previously healthy 60-year-old man admitted to critical care pre-transplantation and followed six months post-transplant. Intervention: Physical rehabilitation in the critical care, acute ward and in-patient rehabilitation settings. Measures and Outcome: Despite a successful surgery, a long and complex acute care admission contributed to a slow and variable functional recovery. Significant functional limitations and physical frailty were present in the early post-transplant period. Implications: Little is known of the effects of COVID-19 superimposed upon lung transplantation on muscle function, exercise capacity, and physical activity. Future research should include case series to further understand the functional deficits and trajectory of recovery in this emerging clinical population. Standard core outcome measures should be identified for this population to enable synthesis of findings and inform short- and long-term rehabilitation strategies.
