Rehabilitation Towards Functional Independence in a Patient With Metastatic Carcinoma of Lung and Paraplegia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Lung cancer metastasis is a complex process. This case report describes a case of a 58-year-old man with carcinoma of the lung with bony metastasis to spine T9-T11 with the chief complaints of inability to move both lower limbs, breathlessness, and difficulty in bed mobility. Motor impairments may transpire in three different forms, which are paraplegia, hemiplegia, or quadriplegia. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) with body weight support treadmill training (BWSTT) is a widespread rehabilitation approach used to restore motor function of the lower limb and balance. This case report specifies the physiotherapeutic rehabilitation protocol, which includes dyspnea management, FES with BWSTT, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, etc. for a patient undergoing physiotherapy The patient's occupational requirements and enhancement in executing daily living tasks were the focus of the physiotherapeutic rehabilitation. The outcomes used were the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) grading of dyspnea and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). We report a marked increment in muscle tone and strength, active range of motion (AROM), and significant enhancement in the individual's functional independence with physiotherapeutic protocol.
