Multicomponent Home-based Physical Therapy Versus Usual Care for Recovery After Hip Fracture.
Trial report in Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2023. 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
objectiveTo quantify the effect of 2 home-based 16-week multi-component physical therapy interventions on functional recovery compared to usual care after hip fracture.
designCross-study comparison using participants from the Community Ambulation Project (CAP; a randomized controlled trial) were compared to the Baltimore Hip Studies-seventh cohort (BHS-7; an observational cohort study) at 3 different time points (CAP: 15, 31, 55 weeks; BHS-7: 8, 26, and 52 weeks).
settingGeneral community
participantsCombined convenience sample of hip-fracture patients 8-26 weeks post admission from a prospective cohort study and randomized controlled trial. (N=549)
interventionsCAP participants were randomized to one of 2 interventions (PUSH: specific multi-component intervention; PULSE: non-specific multi-component intervention) after standard rehabilitation; BHS-7 participants received usual care.
main outcome measuresMean function (as measured by Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and gait speed) was estimated in each cohort as quadratic functions of time using data from 3 post-fracture assessments in both studies (CAP: 15, 31, 55 weeks; BHS-7: 8, 26, and 52 weeks).
resultsThe harmonized samples included 101 PUSH, 100 PULSE, and 128 BHS-7 participants that had different demographic and clinical characteristics. Mean baseline SPPB scores (meters per second) were PUSH: 5.5 (SD=2.2), PULSE: 5.5 (SD=2.4), and BHS-7: 4.6 (SD=2.5); and mean gait speeds were 0.60 m/s (SD=0.20) for PUSH, 0.59 m/s (SD=0.17) for PULSE, and 0.46 m/s SD=(0.21) for BHS-7, respectively. Estimated between-group differences for SPPB improvement from 75 days to 1-year post admission were 0.7 (P=.04) in PUSH vs BHS-7; and 0.9 (P=.01) in PULSE vs BHS-7. Mean differences in change in gait speed were 0.08 (P=.002) for PUSH vs BHS-7; and 0.06 (P=.02) PULSE vs BHS-7 (P=.02).
conclusionsFindings from this cross-study comparison that combined participants from 2 separate studies, with different designs and samples, suggest that home-based multi-component physical therapy programs were associated with greater functional improvement after hip fracture compared to usual care.
