Role of aphasia in discharge location after stroke.
Article in Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveTo evaluate language deficits after acute stroke and their association with post-acute care at a setting other than home. We hypothesized that deficits in language comprehension would be associated with discharge to a setting other than home after adjustment for physical/occupational therapy (PT/OT) needs.
designSecondary analysis of prospectively collected data. Discharge location, demographic characteristics (age, sex, race), and the presence of PT/OT recommendations were abstracted from the medical record.
settingAcute stroke unit at a tertiary medical center.
participantsLeft hemispheric stroke patients (N=152) within 24 hours of event.
interventionsThe following tasks were administered: (a-b) oral and written naming of pictured objects, (c) oral naming with tactile input (tactile naming), (d-f) oral reading, oral spelling, and repetition of words and pseudowords, (g) written spelling to dictation, (h) spoken word-picture verification (ie, auditory comprehension), and (i) written word-picture verification (ie, written word comprehension).
main outcome measureDischarge to a setting other than home.
resultsOf 152 cases, 88 were discharged home and 64 to another setting. Among stroke subjects discharged to a setting other than home, 63.6% had auditory comprehension deficits compared with 42.9% of those discharged home (P=.03). Deficits in auditory and reading comprehension and oral spelling to dictation were significantly associated with increased odds of discharge to a setting other than home after adjustment for age and PT/OT recommendations.
conclusionsCases with deficits in auditory comprehension, reading comprehension, and oral spelling to dictation had increased odds of being discharged to settings other than home. Early evaluation of these language deficits and prompt treatment may allow patients who would otherwise be discharged to an institution to go home. Further research is needed to design and evaluate individualized treatment protocols and their effect on discharge recommendations.
