Condensed Outpatient Rehabilitation Early After Lung Transplantation: A Retrospective Analysis of 6-Minute Walk Distance and Its Predictors.
Article in Cardiopulmonary physical therapy journal, 2022. 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: The objectives were to evaluate the effect of a condensed post-lung transplant outpatient rehabilitation program started immediately after hospital discharge on 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) and to explore predictors of change in 6MWD and time to complete rehabilitation. Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from July 2009 to February 2019 on recipients who completed physical therapy-based posttransplant outpatient rehabilitation (PTOR). Changes in 6MWD prerehabilitation to postrehabilitation were assessed using repeated measures, and predictors were assessed using multiple linear regression. Results: Participants (N = 819, 61% men, 61 years) began PTOR 2 days (interquartile range [IQR] 1-3) after hospital discharge. The mean 6MWD of 324 m (SD = 107) improved after rehabilitation to 488 m (SD = 105). Factors associated with improvement were younger age ( Conclusions: A condensed outpatient rehabilitation program early after lung transplantation was associated with a large, clinically meaningful improvement in 6MWD. Salient predictors of improvement included age, lung function, and starting 6MWD. These findings from a large cohort of lung transplant recipients who participated in PTOR can assist clinicians in tailoring strategies to optimize patient management. (
