Medications, comorbidities, and medical complications in stroke survivors: the CAReS study.
Article in Rehabilitation nursing : the official journal of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Stroke survivors enter rehabilitation units with many medical comorbidities and often experience significant complications during their stays. The 97 stroke survivors discharged home in this study received prescriptionsfor a mean of 11.3 medications from 5.4 different drug classifications. There were significant correlations between the number of comorbidities and after stroke complications and the number of different classifications of drugs that were ordered. This article (1) identifies the types of medications prescribed for stroke survivors who are being discharged home from rehabilitation, (2) explores correlations between medication prescriptions and the number of stroke-related comorbidities and medical complications, (3) identifies the cost of medications and the potential effect of medication costs on stroke survivors, and (4) discusses the nurse's role in preparing stroke survivors and their caregivers for medication use after discharge. Rehabilitation nurses bear the major responsibility for teaching stroke survivors and their caregivers about their discharge medications.
