Review in Critical care clinics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Patients surviving critical illness are at risk of persistent physical impairments related to Post Intensive Care Syndrome. Physical impairments and symptoms have potential for recovery, but frequently impact quality of life, performance of activities of daily living and participation in societal roles. Patient and illness-related risk factors directly relate and may predict physical functional outcomes providing opportunity for clinicians and scientist to develop targeted intervention strategies. Clinicians and scientists should screen and assess physical impairments and symptoms early following Intensive care unit discharge with a serial approach to promote for targeted and individualized treatment.
