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

Delayed recovery of oral intake is common in hospitalized patients with pneumonia, particularly among older adults with reduced physical activity. Despite the recent emphasis on early mobilization, the relationship between the timing of first mobilization and recovery of oral intake function remains unclear. Thus, this retrospective cohort study investigated the association between time to first mobilization and recovery of oral intake in patients hospitalized with pneumonia. We analyzed 431 admitted patients with pneumonia, including aspiration pneumonia and coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia, at two institutions. The Functional Oral Intake Scale ≥ 4 (partial oral intake recovery) was designated as the primary outcome. The main exposure was the number of days from admission to first mobilization. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used after appropriate adjustments. The median time to first mobilization was 4 days (IQR: 2-14 days). Longer time to first mobilization was significantly associated with delayed recovery of oral intake (HR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.94-0.98,
