Relationship between depression improvement and activities of daily living recovery in patients with fractures.

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
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between improvement in depressive symptoms and activities of daily living (ADL) recovery in older patients with fractures in convalescent rehabilitation wards. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted with 144 older patients with fractures and depressive symptoms (Geriatric Depression Scale score ≥ 5) on admission, who underwent rehabilitation at a Japanese hospital from 2018 to 2023. ADL recovery was assessed by the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Patients were classified into three groups based on change in depressive symptoms: remission, partial improvement, and no improvement. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to evaluate factors associated with change in the FIM score. Results: Remission ( Conclusion: Remission and partial improvement in depressive symptoms positively contributes to ADL recovery in older patients with fractures. Comprehensive interventions addressing both depression and physical function may enhance rehabilitation outcomes. This may improve ADL recovery and long-term prognosis in older patients with fractures.
