[Challenge healthcare system: spotlight on PICS].
Review in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe long-term sequelae of intensive care treatment are summarized as postintensive care syndrome (PICS), which affects physical, cognitive and psychological health and can also impact children (PICS-p) and families (PICS-F).
objectiveDue to the heterogeneous long-term sequelae, an interdisciplinary treatment approach is necessary; however, current healthcare structures in the German-speaking region are not designed for transitional care, including a coordinated outpatient follow-up or care following neurological rehabilitation. The aim of this work is to identify challenges in PICS outpatient diagnostics, treatment and organization and to develop suggestions for improving care. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe Postintensive Care Syndrome Section of the German Interdisciplinary Association of Critical Care and Emergency Medicine (DIVI) provides an overview of the current challenges and addresses them from a healthcare perspective.
resultsCare for PICS patients in German-speaking countries is severely limited due to the absence of ICD-10 codes and billing possibilities, a small number of specialized university outpatient clinics, and insufficient outpatient follow-up care. In particular, the period following rehabilitation is marked by a lack of adequate follow-up care and limited awareness within the outpatient sector.
conclusionFuture efforts should focus on raising awareness among healthcare professionals about this complex syndrome and establishing a continuous interdisciplinary care pathway from intensive care units to rehabilitation and PICS outpatient clinics. Additionally, the introduction of ICD coding and the creation of reimbursable care structures are necessary.
