The Effectiveness of Physiotherapy Rehabilitation in an Adult With Multiple Joint Fractures - A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
This case report details the rehabilitation procedure for a 35-year-old man involved in a vehicle accident that resulted in multiple joint fractures. The patient had fractures to the proximal tibia, left bimalleolar, posterior malleolus, fourth and fifth metacarpal heads, and second and third proximal phalanges. After open reduction and internal fixation surgery, an 8-12 week physical treatment regimen was put into place. Exercises for both passive and active range of motion, isometric and progressive resistance training, and gait training were provided. The rehabilitation goals were pain relief, increased range of motion, muscle strength, flexibility, endurance, and functional independence. Pain levels, range of motion, muscle strength, and general function all significantly improved between pre- and post-rehabilitation evaluations. Early mobilization and structured physical therapy were crucial in achieving these outcomes, highlighting the importance of tailored rehabilitation protocols for post-operative recovery.
