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

Aim: To investigate the effects of a nursing program to early promote the activity of daily living after passing critical conditions among older adults admitted to the semimedical intensive care unit. Design: Quasi-experimental research. Methods: A total of 50 older adults admitted to the semimedical intensive care unit were recruited using a consecutive sampling method. Data were collected from June 28 to October 3, 2024, using the Barthel ADL Index, complication record forms, and muscle strength record forms. Results: The findings indicated that the experimental group reported higher scores in performing activities of daily living (17.48 ± 1.19 vs. 2.76 ± 0.44) and motor power (4.96 ± 0.20 vs. 3.68 ± 0.48), as well as a lower incidence of complications (12% vs. 64%) than the control group ( Conclusion: The study demonstrates that the nursing program is effective in facilitating early functional recovery and reducing complications among older adults following critical conditions in the semi-intensive care unit. This program provides a valuable approach to enhancing the quality of care and outcomes for this vulnerable population. Trial Registration: Thai Clinical Trials Registry (TCTR): TCTR20240708010.
