1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundToday's rehabilitation decision-making still relies on conventional methods and different specific targeted rehabilitation protocols. Our study focuses on the decision support system for early rehabilitation after rotator cuff (RC) tears repair, where a multicriteria decision-making framework (MCDM) is applied for the prediction of successful functional recovery and selection of a rehabilitation protocol.

objectiveTo identify factors that affect recovery outcomes and to develop a decision support system methodology for predicting functional recovery outcomes at early rehabilitation after RC repair.

methodsTwelve rehabilitation experts were involved in the design, calibration, and evaluation of a rehabilitation protocol based on the proposed decision support system constructed using the MCDM framework. For the development of a decision support system, 20 patients after RC surgery undergoing outpatient rehabilitation were enrolled in a prospective cohort clinical trial.

resultsThe MCDM framework (SWARA method) sensitively assesses different criteria and determines the corresponding criteria weights that were similar to criteria weights assessed subjectively by rehabilitation experts. The assignment of patients into the classes, according to the heuristic evaluation method based on expert opinion and the standard qualitative evaluation methods showed the validity of MCDM methods remain the best new alternative in predicting recovery during rehabilitation.

conclusionsThe results of this paper show that sustainable rehabilitation is an area that is quite suitable for the use of MCDM. The most of rehabilitation protocols are based on traditional methods and approaches, but the sensitive results showed the validity of MCDM methods and remains the best new alternative in prediction recovery protocols during rehabilitation.
