Health-related quality of life and participation after inpatient rehabilitation of sepsis survivors with severe sequelae: a cohort study.
Article in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo describe health-related quality of life and participation after rehabilitation of severely affected sepsis survivors.
designCohort study. SUBJECTS/PATIENTS: Patients with severe sequelae after sepsis treated in a multidisciplinary rehabilitation pathway were included.
methodsPatient characteristics at the time of diagnosis, and the outcome 3 months after discharge from rehabilitation are described. At that time, health-related quality of life, social participation, and the rate of living at home were measured.
resultsOf the 498 patients enrolled, 100 severely impaired patients were transferred for a multidisciplinary rehabilitation approach. Fifty-five of them were followed up at 3 months. Descriptive and inference statistics showed that 69% were living at home with or without care. Health-related quality of life and participation scores were 0.64 ± 0.32 for the EQ-5D utility index and 54.98 ± 24.97 for the Reintegration of Normal Living Index. A multivariate regression model explaining health-related quality of life at 3 months included age, lower limb strength, and walking ability during rehabilitation (r2 = 0.5511). Participation at 3 months was explained by age, body mass index, lower limb strength, and duration of tracheal intubation (r2 = 0.6229).
conclusionPatients who have experienced serious sepsis with severe sequelae can achieve a moderate level of quality of life and participation within a multidisciplinary pathway.
