Prognostic Factors of Functional Outcome Assessed by Using the Modified Rankin Scale in Subacute Ischemic Stroke.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundMost stroke survivors spent their lifetime with disability which not only affects the clients themselves and the family but also brings economic cost to the country. Therefore, this retrospective cohort study aimed to identify independent prognostic determinants associated with functional recovery in ischemic stroke within 6 months after onset.
methodsData from all first-onset ischemic stroke patients admitted to the acute stroke unit of the tertiary, university hospital were reviewed for 5 years consecutively. The functional outcome of the patients was recorded during 6-month follow-up by using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Baseline characteristics, motor assessment and all stroke-related variables were assessed during first week after stroke and 6-month follow-up. In order to derive clinical predictors, the backward stepwise multivariable risk regression analyses were used with the generalized linear model.
resultsThe result revealed that in the 358 patients recruited into this study, 255 (71.2%) were in the functional recovery group (mRS score of 1 - 3) within 6 months after onset. The final model of multivariable risk regression analysis, with generalized linear model, demonstrated that the independent variables of functional recovery were leg score with a risk ratio (RR = 1.92, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.14 - 3.21, P = 0.013), arm score (RR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.02 - 3.01, P = 0.042) and age older than 75 years (RR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.04 - 1.77, P = 0.025).
conclusionsAchieving functional recovery during 6 months post stroke was related to age and motor improvement. With limited resources, continuity of rehabilitation training in the community system or allocation of caregiver training should be a part of discharge planning to promote recovery.
