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

purposeAcute pancreatitis (AP) is a serious and sometimes life-threatening condition that can lead to complications like organ failure and infection. While early mobility has shown benefits in other hospital settings, its role in AP care remains underexplored. This study assessed the impact of a nurse-led early mobilization program on recovery in AP patients.

methodsA randomized controlled trial included 240 patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, split equally between an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group received a nurse-led early mobilization plan within 24 h of admission, while the control group followed standard care, with mobilization delayed until clinical stabilization. Primary outcomes included the Barthel Index score for functional recovery, measured at discharge, while secondary outcomes included complications, satisfaction, and readmission rates. Analyses used multivariate regression and propensity score matching.

resultsPatients who received early mobilization had significantly higher Barthel scores (mean = 75.84 vs. 65.5, p < 0.001). Although complication rates were lower in the intervention group (2.1% vs. 4.6%), the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.121). Patient satisfaction was notably higher in the intervention group (median = 8 vs. 7, p < 0.001). Readmission rates were slightly lower but not significant (0.4% vs. 1.3%, p = 0.313). Propensity score analysis supported these findings.

conclusionNurse-led early mobilization appears to boost functional recovery and satisfaction in AP patients, with no added risks. These findings suggest early mobilization may be a valuable addition to standard AP care, warranting further research. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR2000013176.
