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

purposeEvaluate the clinimetric properties and clinical utility of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) in survivors of critical illness up to 6 months post-hospital discharge. MATERIALS AND

methodsClinimetric analysis of three international datasets (

resultsAt hospital discharge, the SPPB demonstrated moderate-to-excellent construct validity with the six-minute walk test (rho = 0.81,

conclusionsThe SPPB is a valid tool that can be used to monitor physical function recovery. It may have the potential for prediction of physical limitations particularly at hospital discharge, however further validation is required.
