Perme Score and Machine Learning for Detecting ICU-acquired Weakness: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study.
Article in Indian journal of critical care medicine : peer-reviewed, official publication of Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background and aims: Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) is a common complication in critically ill patients on prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV), impairing recovery and prolonging intensive care unit (ICU) stays. Standard diagnostic tools like the handgrip strength test (HGST) require patient cooperation and may be limited in critical settings. This study evaluated whether the Perme ICU Mobility Score, a multidimensional functional assessment, is associated with ICUAW and can serve as a screening tool using HGST as the diagnostic reference. Patients and methods: We conducted a prospective observational study in a Brazilian tertiary ICU from May 2021 to October 2023. We assessed adults (≥18 years) undergoing MV for ≥7 days who were clinically stable (pressure support 7 cm H Results: Among 97 patients, ICUAW was identified in 78.4%. Lower Perme Scores were significantly associated with ICUAW ( Conclusions: The Perme Score is a feasible, complementary screening tool for ICUAW. A cutoff ≤9 supports early functional risk stratification but should be interpreted alongside clinical context due to limited specificity and negative predictive value (NPV).
