Predictors of functional level and quality of life at 6 months after a first-ever stroke: the KOSCO study.
Article in Journal of neurology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03402451 (Korean Stroke Cohort for Functioning and Rehabilitation), which is not on this map. Cited by 39 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.

Abstract
Predicting functional outcome and quality of life (QOL) is critical to the treatment of patients with stroke. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors influencing functional status and QOL of stroke patients 6 months after a first-ever stroke. This study was an interim analysis of the Korean Stroke Cohort for Functioning and Rehabilitation Study, designed to include 10 years of follow-up for first-ever stroke patients. This study analyzed data from 2857 patients who completed face-to-face assessments with the functional independence measurement (FIM) and Euro Quality of Life-5D (EQ-5D) at 6 months after stroke onset. A multivariate regression analysis was used to analyze factors that potentially influenced FIM and EQ-5D results at 6 months after stroke. Of the patients in this study, 80.1 % suffered from ischemic stroke and 19.9 % experienced hemorrhagic stroke. The independent predictors of functional independency measured by FIM at 6 months after stroke were age, initial stroke severity, duration of hospitalization, and functional level at discharge in terms of motor, ambulation, and language. For QOL measured by EQ-5D at 6 months after stroke, age, duration of hospitalization, and motor function at discharge were significant predictors. In conclusion, proper treatment to achieve maximal functional gain at discharge may be an important factor in improving functional independency and QOL in chronic stage stroke survivors. These results provide useful information for establishing comprehensive and systematic care for stroke patients.
