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
Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who are comatose face respiratory complications and a process of long-term rehabilitation. This study evaluates the combined effect of nurse-led early graded rehabilitation (EGR) and comprehensive chest physical therapy (CCPT) guided by pulmonary ultrasound (PU) on neurological function, respiratory outcomes, and complications in comatose ICU patients. This retrospective study included 120 comatose patients admitted to the ICU from July 2024 to February 2025, divided into a conventional treatment group and a combination treatment group. The latter accepted the CCPT guided by EGR and PU. Evaluate the results using Glasgow Coma Scale, Barthel Index, respiratory parameters, and incidence of complications. The data were analyzed using t-test and logistic regression. The combination therapy group demonstrated significant improvements in the Glasgow Coma Scale (6.32 ± 1.15 vs 5.85 ± 1.26; P = .035). Respiratory parameters, including higher tidal volumes (239.57 ± 76.07 mL vs194.78 ± 55.34 mL; P < .001) and oxygenation indices (245.67 ± 27.51 mm Hg vs 235.34 ± 25.08 mm Hg; P = .034), were also enhanced. Significant reductions in pulmonary infection (1.67% vs 15%; P = .021) and deep vein thrombosis (1.67% vs 13.33%; P = .038) were observed. Integrating EGR with PU-guided CCPT significantly improves neurological function, functional independence, and respiratory outcomes while reducing critical complications in comatose ICU patients. This combined therapeutic strategy represents a highly effective approach to enhancing recovery in critical care settings.
