The Impact of Executive Function on Retention and Compliance in Physical Therapy in Veterans.

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
Objective: To examine retention and compliance to a novel physical therapy (PT) treatment among Veterans with and without executive function deficits (EFD+/EFD-). Design: This study was a preplanned secondary analysis of an ongoing randomized controlled trial. Setting: Outpatient PT at VA Boston Healthcare System. Participants: Seventy-two community-dwelling middle-aged and older Veterans (mean age, 72 years [range 51-91]; 87% male) with gait speed between 0.5 and 1.0 m/second were recruited from primary care practices. Interventions: Eight-week moderate-to-vigorous intensity PT program. Main outcome measure: Veterans' baseline mobility, retention (dropouts), and treatment compliance and posttreatment exercise compliance to 8-week PT treatment were evaluated based on their baseline EFD status. Results: Of the 72 participants, 22% (n=16) were EFD+. Veterans with EFD+ at baseline had worse mobility performance (Short Physical Performance Battery [SPPB], 7.7 vs 9.5, Conclusion: EFD+ was associated with poor baseline mobility. Although the dropout rate was higher among Veterans with EFD+, we were unable to conclude whether EFD status impacts retention or compliance due to the small sample size. Further investigation is needed to determine whether EFD status may identify individuals who need additional support during and/or after rehabilitation treatment.
