Strategies to promote safe mobilization of people with obesity in inpatient care settings: A scoping review protocol.
Article in PloS one, 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
introductionHospital-associated deconditioning is common during inpatient admissions, particularly among patients with obesity whose mobilization presents added complexity and safety challenges. Despite the known benefits of mobilization, there is no comprehensive synthesis or guidelines to address safe mobilization for patients with obesity in inpatient settings. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis protocol describes a scoping review that will systematically map the literature on mobilization strategies used for adults with obesity in acute and inpatient rehabilitation settings, including barriers and facilitators to safe practice. Following the Joanna Briggs Institute methods and PRISMA-ScR reporting, peer-reviewed studies involving patients with author-defined obesity will be identified through comprehensive searches of Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Ovid Emcare, Ovid AMED, EbscoHost CINAHL, and Clarivate Web of Science from database inception. Screening and data extraction will be conducted independently by two reviewers, with discrepancies resolved by consensus or a third reviewer. Data will be summarized narratively and with descriptive statistics, as appropriate.
conclusionThe results of this scoping review will summarize the available evidence on the strategies used to safely mobilize patients with obesity during admission to inpatient settings and the barriers and facilitators that impact these strategies. A manuscript will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at appropriate rehabilitation conferences.
