Sex-based differences in body composition and functional independence affecting discharge destination in patients undergoing convalescent rehabilitation.

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
[Purpose] To determine sex-based differences in body composition, based on discharge destination of patients admitted to a convalescent rehabilitation unit. [Participants and Methods] A total of 135 patients admitted to a convalescent rehabilitation unit were included. Body composition, motor function subscale of the Functional Independence Measure (mFIM) score, length of stay, and mean number of rehabilitation sessions per day were measured and compared between home and non-home discharge groups. [Results] The home and non-home discharge groups comprised 112 (45 males and 67 females) and 23 (nine males and 14 females) participants, respectively. Differences were observed in phase angle (PhA), skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), extracellular water to total body water ratio, and mFIM score for both sexes, based on discharge destination. Binomial logistic regression analysis with discharge destination as the dependent variable showed that the mFIM score and length of stay were influencing factors for males and females, respectively. [Conclusion] PhA and SMI are promising new tools for assessing common discharge destinations in both sexes, suggesting an impact of recovery in the mFIM score and on length of stay in male and female patients, respectively.
