Impact of Rehabilitation on Time to Home Discharge after Hip Fracture Surgery: A Retrospective Observational Study Using the Japanese Nationwide Database of Diagnosis Procedure Combination.
Article in Physical therapy research, 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
Objectives: The impact of rehabilitation (RH) started on postoperative day 0 (Day 0) and the association between intensive RH and time to home discharge after hip fracture surgery remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the influence of the RH starting date and RH provision volume on time to home discharge. Methods: Using the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database, we retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent surgery within 7 days of admission between April 2020 and March 2022. RH starting date was classified as Day 0, postoperative day 1 (Day 1), postoperative day 2 (Day 2), or postoperative day 3 or later (≥Day 3). RH provision volume was calculated as the average number of daily RH units. Time to home discharge was used as the outcome, with home discharge as the event occurrence. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to examine these associations. Results: A total of 207450 patients were included. Both variables had a statistically significant association with time to home discharge. The adjusted hazard ratio based on RH started on ≥Day 3 was 0.97 (95% confidence interval: 0.93-1.02) for Day 2, 1.05 (1.01-1.09) for Day 1, and 1.18 (1.10-1.27) for Day 0. The adjusted hazard ratio based on the lowest dose (0-1.0 units/day) was 1.12 (1.08-1.15) for 1.1-2.0 units/day, 1.10 (1.06-1.14) for 2.1-3.0 units/day, 1.04 (1.00-1.08) for 3.1-4.0 units/day, 1.09 (1.04-1.14) for 4.1-5.0 units/day, and 1.11 (1.06-1.17) for ≥5.1 units/day. Conclusions: Starting RH on Day 0 was suggested to potentially facilitate faster or easier home discharge. Additionally, providing at least one unit of RH appears effective.
