Potential predictors for health-related quality of life in stroke patients undergoing inpatient rehabilitation.

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
backgroundImproving HRQOL is the desired outcome for patients with stroke undergoing inpatient rehabilitation services. This study aimed to comprehensively identify the potential health-related quality of life (HRQOL) predictors in patients with stroke undergoing inpatient rehabilitation within the first year after stroke; thus far, such an investigation has not been conducted.
methodsWe enrolled 119 patients (88 males, 31 females) with stroke, and examined 12 potential predictors: age, sex, stroke type, stroke side, duration after onset, cognition (Mini-Mental State Examination; MMSE), depression (Beck Depression Inventory-II), stroke severity (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; NIHSS), upper- and lower-extremity motor function scores of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scale, balance (Berg Balance Scale; BBS), and functional status (Functional Independence Measure). HRQOL was measured using Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) 3.0.
resultsNIHSS score predicted the strength domain and total SIS score (41.5% and 41.7% of the variances, respectively). BBS score was a major predictor of mobility and participation/role domains (48.6% and 10% of the variances, respectively). MMSE score predicted the memory and communication domains (22.5% and 36.3% of the variances, respectively). Upper extremity score of the FMA scale predicted the daily living/instrumental activities of daily life and hand function domains (40.3% and 20.6% of the variances, respectively). Stroke side predicted the emotion domain (11.6% of the variance).
conclusionsNIHSS, MMSE, BBS, FMA, and stroke side predicted most HRQOL domains. These findings suggest that different factors predicted various HRQOL domains in patients with stroke.
