Effects of early mobilization in elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Trial report in Irish journal of medical science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundAlthough early mobilization is associated with improved outcomes in postoperative cardiac patients, implementation of early mobilization in elderly patients is still a challenge.
aimsIn this study, we aimed to design and assess an early mobilization program for cardiac rehabilitation.
methodsWe conducted a clinical trial in elderly patients aged over 65 years after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to an early mobilization group (Group A) or a routine therapy group (Group B). Short-Form International Physical Activity Questionnaire (SF-IPAQ), to assessment balance Time Up and Go (TUG), to assessment functional capacity the 2-min walking test (2MWT) and the short physical performance battery (SPPB) were used as a reference to formulate and monitor the early mobilization regimen.
resultsA total of 100 patients were enrolled (n = 50 per group). The mean walking distance in Group A was significantly higher at 135.6 ± 9.29 than the mean walking distance in Group B which was lower at 123.4 ± 8.48. Also, the patients in Group B had a mean SF-IPAQ of 389.44 with an SD of 85.7, P < 0.001, whereas the mean SF-IPAQ amount in Group A was 556.16 with an SD of 91.47. In early mobilization group, a strong positive connection was indicated by the correlation coefficient of r = 0.957 between the amount of SF-IPAQ and 2 MWT and there was a significant negative association r = - 0.768 between 2MWT and TUG.
conclusionOur study's findings suggest that early mobilization and functional exercises enhanced balance, functionality, and life quality for older cardiac patients.
