Early mobilisation to enhance recovery following cardiac valvular surgery in atrial fibrillation patients: a randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of early mobilisation in promoting enhanced recovery among patients with concurrent atrial fibrillation undergoing cardiac valve surgery. A total of 190 patients who underwent cardiac valve surgery with concurrent atrial fibrillation at a tertiary-grade A hospital in Changsha City between January and December 2022 were randomly allocated to either an intervention (n = 95) or a control group (n = 95). The control group received standard perioperative care, while the intervention group followed a care programme that integrated conventional and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. The study compared recovery progress, incidence of complications, and various other metrics between the two groups. The intervention group demonstrated statistically. significant differences (p < 0.01) compared to the control group in terms of time to first mobilisation, duration of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, mechanical ventilation duration, pain scores, 6-minute walking distances, occurrence of arrhythmias, ICU re-admission, pulmonary infection rates, sternal incision infection rates, length of hospital stay, hospitalisation expenses, and adverse event rates. Summarily, patients in the intervention group exhibited more favourable outcomes across these metrics than those in the control group. Implementing an ERAS protocol-based early mobilisation strategy is a safe and viable approach for patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery with concurrent atrial fibrillation, facilitating their expedited recovery.
