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

backgroundThe relationship between hospitalization duration and physical function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been thoroughly investigated. This study aimed to determine whether assessment of physical function one week after hospitalization can predict the length of stay in patients with CKD.

methodsA retrospective study was conducted on hospitalized patients with CKD who underwent rehabilitation between March 2019 and March 2020. Physical function was evaluated using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), grip strength, and Barthel Index and analyzed alongside clinical data.

resultsThe mean age of the participants was 73.4 ± 11.9 years, with 92% having stage G4 or G5 CKD. Multivariate analysis revealed that the SPPB (β = -0.33,

conclusionsThe SPPB score in the early stages of hospitalization for patients with CKD was found to be a significant predictor of the length of stay, even after considering the eGFR and the Charlson Comorbidity Index. These findings may contribute to optimizing inpatient management and rehabilitation strategies for patients with CKD.
