Summary of the best evidence for early mobilization after lumbar spinal fusion surgery: a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMC surgery, 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
purposeThis study aimed to systematically identify, critically appraise, and synthesize the highest-quality evidence on early mobilization following lumbar spinal fusion surgery (LSF), thereby establishing an evidence-based framework to guide clinical nursing practice.
methodsFollowing the 6 S evidence model, we performed a comprehensive literature search across multiple databases and gray literature sources up to December 2024. Studies investigating early postoperative mobilization in LSF patients were screened for eligibility and rigorously assessed for methodological quality. Relevant evidence was extracted, categorized, and synthesized to develop evidence-based clinical recommendations.
resultsTwenty-eight studies met the inclusion criteria, including 1 best practice guideline, 4 clinical guidelines, 6 systematic reviews, 1 evidence summary, 6 expert consensus statements, 4 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and 6 cohort studies. Based on the synthesized evidence, 22 clinical recommendations were formulated, categorized into five key domains: Multidisciplinary collaboration and individualized activity planning, Patient-centered health education, Pre-ambulation functional assessment, Activity protocols and progression criteria, and Safety monitoring and risk mitigation strategies.
conclusionThis evidence synthesis provides a standardized framework for early mobilization following LSF surgery. Implementation should be adapted to institutional resources and patient-specific factors, with continuous monitoring of clinical outcomes to ensure efficacy and safety.
