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

Patients following brain tumour resection experience significant disability, yet rehabilitation is not typically delivered prior to adjuvant treatment such as radiation or chemotherapy. This study aims to characterize the medical and functional profiles, and function outcomes of patients with brain tumour admitted over the past four years to a pilot inpatient prehabilitation programme following brain tumour resection but prior to adjuvant therapy, and to compare these findings with those of patients in a standard acquired brain injury rehabilitation programme. We retrospectively reviewed the charts from a randomly selected sample of 58 prehabilitation inpatients and 112 patients with acquired brain injuries at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute between March 2020 and December 2024. Data abstracted included demographics, medical and functional profiles, Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores, and discharge parameters. Compared with acquired brain injury subjects, prehabilitation subjects had significantly less physical (47% vs. 86%,
