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
Objective: To examine early gait responsiveness as a predictor of rehabilitation outcomes in older adults undergoing postacute rehabilitation. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Three skilled nursing facilities in Northern California. Participants: One hundred sixty-two adults aged ≥65 years admitted for postacute rehabilitation (2022-2023); 58% female; primary diagnoses: 38% orthopedic, 33% medical, and 28% neurologic. Interventions: Not applicable (observational study). Main Outcome Measures: Discharge functional status (Functional Independence Measure motor subscale), length of stay, and discharge disposition. Results: Early gait responsiveness was operationalized as the rate of change in gait distance across the first 5 physical therapy sessions. Mean early gait responsiveness was 2.1±1.6 m/session (range -0.6 to 7.4 m/session). Greater early gait responsiveness was independently associated with higher discharge functional status ( Conclusions: Early gait responsiveness is a clinically interpretable indicator of rehabilitation trajectory and may support earlier identification of patients at risk for suboptimal outcomes.
