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

purposeThe effect of increased physical activity duration on functional recovery in older inpatients in subacute settings is not well established. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between physical activity and functional recovery in older patients receiving post-acute and subacute care.

methodsWe analyzed cohort data of hospitalized older patients (age ≥ 65 years) in the post-acute rehabilitation units. The main outcome was functional independence measure (FIM) gain. Physical activity was measured using a triaxial accelerometer. Changes in sedentary behavior and total physical activity time from admission to discharge were measured as changes in each physical activity time. Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the relationship between changes in physical activity and FIM gain.

resultsA total of 210 patients were eligible for analysis. The mean age of the study patients was 83.6 ± 7.2 years, and 63.8% (n = 134) were female. According to the multivariate regression analysis, changes in sedentary behavior time were significantly associated with high recovery of FIM gain (odds ratio [OR] 0.996, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.993-1.000; p = 0.026), and changes in total physical activity time also showed a similar association (OR 1.006, 95% CI 1.000-1.011; p = 0.041).

conclusionDecreased sedentary behavior time and increased total physical activity time were significantly associated with high functional recovery in post-acute rehabilitation units. These results suggest that interventions for physical activity duration may be effective in improving activities of daily living in older post-acute and subacute patients.
