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

Currently, knowledge of the effects of different frequencies of administration of bedside physiotherapy programs (PTPs) on hospitalized COVID-19 patients is limited. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effects of administering PTPs once or twice during hospitalization versus daily PTPs until discharge. Fifty-two COVID-19 patients were equally assigned to two groups, matched by gender and age (1:1 ratio). Experimental Group 1 (Ex-G1) received PTPs one to two times during hospitalization, while Experimental Group 2 (Ex-G2) received daily PTPs until discharge. The outcomes assessed included the survival rate, length of hospitalization (LoH), intensive care unit (ICU) referrals, and in-hospital complications. Most participants were classified as having mild to moderate COVID-19, with a mean age of 45 years. No significant differences were observed between the groups in all primary outcomes, including the survival rate (
