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

The S3 guideline "Positioning therapy and mobilisation in critically ill patients in intensive care units" replaces the S2e guideline on the prophylaxis and treatment of pulmonary dysfunctions. The 2023 updated version revised the evidence assessment based on the Oxford system and has integrated new scientific findings since 2015, formulated using specific PICO (P: population/patient/problem, I: intervention, C: comparison, O: outcome) questions. An amendment in 2024 corrected minor errors and updated the evidence assessment again. A central aspect is the differentiated approach to early mobilisation, which now explicitly recommends mobilisation within 72 h of ICU admission. Furthermore, new chapters on assistive devices and neuromuscular electrical stimulation have been added to outline additional therapeutic options for positioning therapy and mobilisation in critically ill patients.
