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

Purpose: To explore the rehabilitation needs, preferences, barriers, and facilitators of sepsis survivors. Methods: We performed a qualitative descriptive study. We included English-speaking adults over 18 years old with a past diagnosis of sepsis Results: We included 22 participants. Participants identified the need for early and continued rehabilitation, including support for physical and cognitive health. They described barriers related to social isolation, finances, and lack of information on and accessibility to rehabilitation services. Participants reported that they preferred to participate in rehabilitation that included peer support, education for themselves and caregivers, and personalized services. Interview findings underscore the need to increase the accessibility of rehabilitation resources and the knowledge of sepsis survivors and their caregivers on the condition and the benefits of rehabilitation. Conclusion: We identified rehabilitation needs, preferences, barriers, and facilitators necessary to better support sepsis survivors in their recovery process. Future research should focus on tailoring strategies to improve the opportunity for rehabilitation for sepsis survivors and increasing the knowledge of sepsis in survivors and their caregivers to maximize participation in rehabilitation for individuals with sepsis.
