Factors that influence the severity of post-stroke depression.
Observational study in Journal of medicine and life. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
aimThe aim of this paper was to investigate whether the extent of neurological impairment, the location of ischemic lesions due to stroke are associated with the severity of post-stroke depression. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study included 82 patients, who were diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke and post-stroke depression and were admitted to the Neurology Clinic of Cluj-Napoca County Emergency Hospital between 2009 and 2011. A head MRI was performed with a 1.5 Tesla. Psychometric assessment was performed by using several scales, including the Beck Depression Inventory and the Mini-Mental State Examination. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and the Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living were used to produce a complete neurological assessment.
resultsPatients with severe depression had a lower score on the Quality of Life Scale (QOLS) and higher scores for the Barthel index, NIHSS and MMSE. A stroke located in the basal nuclei increased the probability of severe depression. The patients with fewer lesions (1-2) had a greater chance of developing mild or moderate depression compared to the patients with 3-4 lesions. A frontal localization of the stroke was almost twice as common in patients with severe depression. If the stroke affected the left hemisphere, there was a higher probability of severe depression. In multivariate analysis, a basal nuclei lesion, a left hemisphere stroke location, and an NIHSS score >11 were all independently associated with severe depression.
conclusionThe location of the stroke and the NIHSS score could be related to the severity of post-stroke depression.
