Post Soft Care: Italian implementation of a post-stroke checklist software for primary care and identification of unmet needs in community-dwelling patients.
Article in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 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.
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
The needs of community-dwelling stroke patients are often not fully addressed. The Global Stroke Community Advisory Panel had developed the Post Stroke Checklist (PSC) with the aim of standardizing long-term stroke assessment and consequently care of patients. PSC has been validated for UK and Singapore, and an Italian version has been proposed. The aim of this study is to assess the needs of community-dwelling Italian stroke patients using an online version of PSC. Secondary aim is to assess utility of PSC for patients and clinicians. The PSC was administered to a sample of 64 patients with stroke in Italy by general practioners. PSC is a questionnaire formed by 11 questions, each one covering a domain identified as important for patients' health. After administration of PSC, patient and clinician satisfaction with the PSC was assessed by a specific questionnaire. The PSC identified specific problems for patients related to a worsening from the last examination not evaluated by any specialist. The online PSC highlighted problems related to mood, (in 50% of sample), mobility (53.1%), spasticity (42.2%), and pain (37.5%). Both patients and clinicians provided good results about the utility of online PSC. The PSC was confirmed to be a useful tool for identifying the needs of community-dwelling patients with stroke. Particular attention should be deserved to problems related to mood, mobility, and hence participation to social life, pain, and spasticity. For taking into account these aspects, the online PSC can be a useful portable tool for clinicians.
