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

Significant physical and neuropsychiatric challenges, diminished life quality, and heightened demand for healthcare services often mark the period following discharge from the intensive care unit and hospitalization. Most follow-up care for these patients relies on clinic-based models, necessitating visits to healthcare facilities for rehabilitation and continued monitoring. However, this approach can create barriers for the most severely affected individuals, potentially worsening health inequities. In contrast, home care offers a viable solution by providing essential social support and assistance to patients with varying healthcare needs, allowing them to preserve their independence within the familiar environment of their own homes and communities. This model presents a promising alternative to the conventional clinic-based post-intensive care unit recovery system. It is cost-effective and better aligned with the preferences of an increasing number of individuals who choose to stay at home rather than move to institutional settings for care.
