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

Currently, there is inadequate evidence on the effects of combined rehabilitation and nutritional therapy for patients with multimorbidity. Therefore, in this report, we describe a case of combined rehabilitation and nutritional therapies with favorable outcomes in a patient with duplicated musculoskeletal and cerebrovascular diseases. An 80-year-old female patient was admitted to a convalescent rehabilitation ward after undergoing left total knee arthroplasty. During hospitalization, the patient had a subcortical hemorrhage in the right temporal lobe. The patient was readmitted to a convalescent rehabilitation ward after treatment at an acute care hospital and underwent rehabilitation therapy. Upon readmission, the patient showed a decline in physical function and skeletal muscle mass and had a poor nutritional status. Additionally, the patient required assistance with activities of daily living. Comprehensive treatment combining rehabilitation therapy and nutritional therapy was carried out for five months, seven days a week. The patient's physical function, skeletal muscle mass, and nutritional status improved. It is important to combine rehabilitation and nutritional therapy for patients with multiple diseases.
