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
Aim: We aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of elderly critically ill patients and identify prognostic factors for mobility disability at discharge. Methods: This single-center, retrospective cohort study investigated the period from April 2020 to January 2021. Patients ≥75 years old transferred to our emergency department and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) or intermediate unit in our hospital were eligible. Demographics, clinical characteristics, nutritional indicators, and nutritional screening scores were collected from chart reviews and analyzed. The primary outcome was the prevalence of mobility disability, compared to that of no mobility disability. Results: A total of 124 patients were included in this present study. Median age was 83.0 years (interquartile range [IQR], 79.8-87.0 years) and 48 patients (38.7%) were female. Fifty-two patients (41.9%) could not walk independently at discharge (mobility disability group). The remaining 72 patients were in the no mobility disability group. Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed clinical frailty scale (CFS) score ≥5 (odds ratio [OR] = 6.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.51-17.52, Conclusion: Among elderly patients admitted to the emergency department, CFS ≥5, SOFA ≥6, and neurological disorders were associated with mobility disability at hospital discharge.
