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: In China, patients requiring intensive rehabilitation often face a gap between acute treatment and sub-acute rehabilitation. This study evaluates the composition and determinants of post-acute hospitalization costs in stroke patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). Methods: Data from 133 stroke patients with DoC who underwent inpatient rehabilitation at a tertiary hospital from 2015 to 2020 were collected, including demographic characteristics, clinical features, and hospitalization costs. Descriptive statistical analysis and univariate analysis were performed, followed by path analysis and Bootstrap mediation tests to explore factors influencing hospitalization costs. Results: The median hospitalization costs were $56,860.80. Rehabilitation costs accounted for the largest proportion of total hospitalization costs (36.55%). Direct factors influencing total costs included payment method, admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), pulmonary infection, and length of stay (LOS) ( Conclusion: Greater attention should be given to meeting the rehabilitation needs of patients by expanding resources for intensive rehabilitation and ensuring continuous rehabilitation services. Comprehensive and effective measures should be implemented to address cost-influencing factors early, without compromising the quality of care.
