Community-Based Rehabilitation and Patient-Centered Outcomes in Survivors of Critical COVID-19 Attending an Intensive Care Recovery Clinic.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 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
Objective: To examine the occurrence of physical and cognitive impairments among survivors of critical coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) who attend an intensive care unit (ICU) recovery clinic and describe their utilization of community-based rehabilitation (physical and occupational therapy). Design: Retrospective, observational cohort study and multisite practice analysis. Setting: ICU recovery clinics at 4 academic medical centers. Participants: Adults (median age 56 [interquartile range, {IQR}, 47-64] years, 60% female) surviving acute respiratory failure caused by COVID-19 who required advanced respiratory support. Main outcome measures: Six-minute walk test (6MWT) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Results: Patients attended the ICU recovery clinic (n=163) in a median of 43 (IQR, 30-60) days after discharge. Ninety-four patients (58%) participated in at least 1 community-based rehabilitation session, 52 (32%) never participated, and 17 (10%) did not have data available. Patients walked a median [IQR] of 282 [150-390] meters on the 6MWT, and the median Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score was 8 [4-11] with 63% of patients classified as physically frail (score ≤9/12). The median MoCA score was 26 [22-27], with 37% at least mild cognitive impairment (score of ≤26). Among patients who were driving before ICU admission, 44% had not returned to driving after hospitalization, and an additional 21% reported driving with new limitations. Patients who participated in at least 1 community-based rehabilitation session had longer ICU lengths of stay as well as worse performance on the 6MWT and SPPB at discharge compared with individuals not receiving postdischarge rehabilitation ( Conclusions: Survivors of acute respiratory failure caused by critical COVID-19 who attended an ICU recovery clinic are at high risk of physical and/or cognitive impairments. Two-thirds of survivors participated in physical or occupational therapy at home or an outpatient center after hospital discharge. Patients with longer lengths of stay and more physical impairments at discharge are more likely to participate in community-based rehabilitation interventions.
