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

Objective: To evaluate the effect of early mobilization in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods: Computerized searches were conducted in PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data, CBM, and VIP databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on early mobilization in ARDS patients. The retrieval period was from the establishment of each database to September 30, 2025. Two reviewers independently assessed the quality of included literature and extracted data in accordance with Cochrane systematic review methodology. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4.1 software for eligible studies. Results: A total of 7 RCTs were included, consisting of 4 English and 3 Chinese articles. Meta-analysis showed that compared with conventional treatment, early mobilization significantly reduced the incidence of intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) [OR = 0.35, 95% CI (0.19,0.64), Conclusion: Early mobilization yields significant clinical benefits for ARDS patients, improving short-term clinical outcomes and functional recovery. It is worthy of clinical promotion and application. However, multicenter, large-sample, and methodologically standardized RCTs are still needed to further verify its long-term effects and optimal implementation protocols.
