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

purposeUnderstanding the heterogeneity in disability after stroke is important to guide treatment and rehabilitation planning. We explored mixture modelling analysis to identify subgroups of stroke disability and factors associated with disability subgroups.

methodAnalyses were performed using secondary data from a cohort of 448 stroke patients who participated in a 2-year study of stroke outcomes. Mixture modelling approach was used to determine subgroups of early disability following stroke based on the Barthel Index, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), Frenchay Activities Index and the Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living Scale.

resultsFive distinct disability groups were identified. Nineteen (4.2%) patients were classified as having very severe disability, 58 (12.9%) severe disability, 133 (29.7%) moderate disability, 198 (44.2%) mild disability and 40 (8.9%) a mood disorder. Compared to the mild group, patients in the "very severe" group were more likely to be elderly and to have had a previous stroke, and less likely to live alone and had a greater risk of mortality 2 years after stroke. Patients in the mood disorder group showed greater dependency in activities of daily living were younger compared to the other groups and had a greater risk of having mood symptoms 2 years after stroke.

conclusionMixture modelling of 1-month disability after stroke using a broad range of outcome measures has identified clinically meaningful groups relating to long-term outcomes.
