Rehabilitation Dose Contributes to Improvement in Transfer and Mobility Activities Among Patients With Ischemic Stroke Who Required Assistance Before Hospitalization: A Nationwide Database Observational Study.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2026. 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 association between rehabilitation dose (≤40min, 40-60min, 60-80min, 80-120min, and ≥120 min) during the first 14 days and recovery of transfer and mobility activities among inpatients with ischemic stroke who required assistance before acute hospitalization. Design: Nationwide Japanese retrospective observational database study. Setting: Acute care and rehabilitation units. Participants: Stroke patients admitted between April 1, 2016, and March 31, 2022, with modified Rankin scale scores of 4 and 5 before hospitalization. The study included 6531 patients (N=6531) (3869 men, 59.2%) with a mean age of 84.02 (±9.27) years. Interventions: Not applicable (observational study without intervention). Main Outcome Measures: The Barthel Index at 30 days was used to assess seated position, transfer ability (with or without assistance), and wheelchair self-propulsion, with each item dichotomized into achievement or nonachievement to facilitate clinical interpretation. Results: Among 6531 patients, higher rehabilitation doses were associated with better outcomes in a dose-response manner. Compared with ≤40 min, ≥120 min/day was associated with improved seated position (relative risk [RR], 2.27; 95% CI, 2.06-2.51), transfer with assistance (RR, 2.18; 95% CI, 1.93-2.45), independent transfer (RR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.58-2.65), and wheelchair self-propulsion (RR, 2.68; 95% CI, 1.90-3.87). Conclusions: In patients with severe preischemic stroke disability, a higher daily rehabilitation dose was associated with improved transfer and mobility functions.
