Comparison of body composition between patients admitted to convalescent rehabilitation and long-term care wards.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
[Purpose] This study aimed to assess the differences in body composition, including phase angle, extracellular water-to-total body water ratio, and skeletal muscle index, between patients in convalescent rehabilitation and long-term care wards. Understanding these differences is essential for tailoring patient care and rehabilitation strategies given that body composition plays a key role in recovery and functional outcomes. [Participants and Methods] In total, 160 patients (73 males and 87 females) in convalescent rehabilitation wards and 26 patients (9 males and 17 females) in long-term care wards participated in this study. Body composition, height, and weight were measured using an InBody S10 device, which allows measurements in both seated and lying positions. [Results] Significant differences in phase angle, extracellular water-to-total body water ratio, and skeletal muscle index were observed between patients in the convalescent rehabilitation and long-term care wards, with larger differences noted among female participants. Specifically, the skeletal muscle index was lower in the patients from long-term care wards, suggesting reduced muscle mass in this group. [Conclusion] Body composition differed between patients in the convalescent rehabilitation and long-term care wards. These findings highlight the need for personalized care and rehabilitation based on body composition to improve patient outcomes.
