Multidisciplinary collaborative approach to cardiopulmonary rehabilitation in cancer patients with intensive care unit-acquired weakness: a clinical efficacy and safety analysis.
Article in American journal of cancer research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectivesTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of a multidisciplinary team (MDT)-based cardiopulmonary rehabilitation model in patients with intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW).
methodsBetween January 2020 and June 2023, 80 ICU patients were enrolled: 40 received standard cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (control group), and 40 underwent MDT-based rehabilitation (observation group). Outcome measures included ICU-AW incidence, muscle strength Medical Research Council (MRC) scores, upper/lower limb strength, Barthel Index Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scores, duration of ICU and hospital stay, mechanical ventilation time, complications, and patient satisfaction. Predictive variables for ICU-AW were also analyzed.
resultsOn days 4 and 7 post-intervention, ICU-AW incidence was significantly lower in the observation group (both P < 0.05). MRC scores, limb muscle strength, Barthel Index, and satisfaction were significantly higher in the observation group (all P < 0.05), while SOFA, APACHE II scores, ICU stay, hospital stay, and ventilation duration were significantly lower (all P < 0.05). SOFA scores declined from day 5, with lower values in the observation group (
conclusionsMDT-based cardiopulmonary rehabilitation significantly improves muscle strength, functional status, and patient satisfaction, while reducing ICU-AW incidence, ICU and hospital stay, and ventilation duration. These findings support its broader clinical application in ICU-AW management.
