From Intensive Care to Recovery: Feasibility of a Randomised Controlled Study Design Evaluating a Cognitive Rehabilitation Intervention for Critically Ill Patients.

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
backgroundSurvivors of critical illness frequently experience persistent cognitive impairment. However, structured cognitive rehabilitation interventions remain limited within intensive care pathways. While physical rehabilitation has received increasing attention, evidence guiding cognitive rehabilitation in intensive care unit (ICU) populations is sparse, and the feasibility of study procedures must be established before large-scale evaluation.
aimTo assess the feasibility of conducting a multi-arm randomised controlled trial evaluating a cognitive rehabilitation intervention (ICU CogHab) for ICU survivors. STUDY
designA pragmatic, five-arm randomised feasibility study was conducted across four ICUs at two Danish university hospitals. Feasibility outcomes included screening and recruitment, randomisation procedures, retention through 6-month follow-up and completion of patient-reported and performance-based outcome measures. Data were analysed descriptively to summarise feasibility parameters and outcome variability.
resultsOf 1679 patients screened, 115 met eligibility criteria and 83 were randomised. Recruitment was lower than anticipated, and retention at 6 months was 40%. Clinical data obtained from medical records were largely complete, whereas cognitive and patient-reported outcomes were more difficult to complete at ICU discharge. Outcome measures demonstrated substantial variability.
conclusionThis study shows that screening and randomisation procedures for a cognitive rehabilitation intervention are feasible within routine ICU practice. Retention and data completeness, particularly after hospital discharge, represent key challenges requiring refinement before further evaluation. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Cognitive rehabilitation can be introduced within routine ICU workflows. However, the timing of assessments, follow-up procedures and integration into clinical practice require optimisation. These findings inform pragmatic adaptations to support future evaluation and implementation of cognitive rehabilitation for ICU survivors.
