Patient Health Questionnaire-9 predicts the functional outcome of stroke patients in convalescent rehabilitation ward.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Abstract
introductionPoststroke depression (PSD) negatively affects the functional outcome of stroke patients. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is a validated screening tool for detecting PSD. This study investigated the relationship between PHQ-9 score and functional outcomes in stroke patients in a convalescent rehabilitation ward by evaluating functional independence measure (FIM) gain scores and the proportion of patients discharged.
methodsIn this retrospective study conducted from January 2017 to September 2019, consecutive stroke patients who were admitted to the convalescent rehabilitation ward and could answer PHQ-9 were assessed. The association between PHQ-9 scores at the time of admission to the convalescent rehabilitation ward and outcomes (FIM gain score and the proportion of patients discharged) was statistically analyzed.
resultsAmong the 215 patients enrolled in the study, 62 (28.8%) were assessed as having depression, in whom PHQ-9 scores were 5 or above. Multivariate analysis revealed that the PHQ-9 score on admission to the convalescent rehabilitation ward was a significant independent factor influencing the FIM gain score (p = .009). In addition, a multivariate analysis revealed that the PHQ-9 score at the time of admission to the convalescent rehabilitation ward was a significant independent factor influencing the inability to discharge a patient (odds ratio 1.24, 95% confidence interval 1.12-1.39, p < .001).
conclusionsThe PHQ-9 score is a useful tool for predicting patient functional outcome, admission to the facility, and screening for poststroke depression.
