Premorbid instrumental activities of daily living predicts discharge home following stroke.
Article in eNeurologicalSci, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
background and purposeStroke survivors who remain dependent require multiple healthcare resources, including rehabilitation and nursing care. The effect of premorbid instrumental ADL (IADL) on the discharge destination, which has not been studied previously in detail, is analyzed. MATERIALS AND
methodsBetween April and September 2015, 40 stroke patients admitted to hospital were enrolled prospectively in the present study. The ADL (Barthel index) and IADL (Frenchay activities index: FAI) scores in their premorbid status were recorded. Baseline demographic data, stroke severity (NIHSS) and type of stroke, and whether they lived with family were also recorded. Simple univariate regression was performed between the two discharge destination groups (Home or Not Home). Significant factors were then included in multivariate logistic regression in order to determine the adjusted odds ratio for the discharge destination. A
results25 patients (64.1%) returned home. According to univariate analysis, NIHSS on admission and premorbid FAI were significantly associated with the discharge destination. Multivariate analysis found that NIHSS (OR, 0.71; 95% CI0.56-0.92;
conclusionsSeverity of stroke upon admission and premorbid IADL are associated with discharge destination following stroke.
