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

Objectives: Reduced mobility during hospitalization can trigger complications and worsen the prognosis of critically ill patients. However, evidence regarding the combined effects of mobility status and nutritional characteristics on inpatients is scarce. This study aimed to evaluate how inpatients' mobility status, nutritional intervention, and meal eaten affect discharge home and to further explore the relationship between reduced mobility and nutritional characteristics. Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional nutritionDay study conducted at 20 centers in China from 2010 to 2020. The sample was divided into mobile and reduced mobility groups. Cox regression models were used to identify the potential effects of nutritional intervention, meal eaten, and mobility status on discharge home. Logistic regression models were used to identify the association between reduced mobility and nutritional characteristics. Subgroup analyses were conducted to evaluate the association between mobility status and discharge home according to different nutritional interventions, meal eaten, survey years, and regions. Sensitivity analyses were performed to assess the robustness of the findings. Results: A total of 5,511 adult patients were included. Mobile patients who could walk unaided had a 1.2 to 1.3 times higher chance of discharge home and a significantly shorter duration of hospital stay after nutritionDay than those with reduced mobility, especially in patients receiving artificial nutrition (median: 8 days vs. 11 days, Conclusion: Walking unaided was associated with a higher chance of discharge home, particularly in patients receiving artificial nutrition and those with incomplete meal intake. The likelihood of reduced mobility can be estimated by nutritional intervention and meal eaten on the same day. Further studies are required to validate causal inference and improve inpatient mobilization by addressing relevant influencing factors.
