Poststroke depression among stroke survivors in Sub-Himalayan region.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionStroke is a leading cause of long-term disability and loss of productive life in developing countries, including India. Ischemic stroke accounts for 85% of all types of stroke with a prevalence of 5%-15% among acute stroke incidents. The prevalence of poststroke depression among acute stroke survivors is varied from 5 to 54%. The study focused on depression among stroke survivors who actively involved in a home-based rehabilitation. MATERIALS AND
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted by enrolling 138 stroke survivors consecutively at tertiary care public hospital, North India. A sociodemographic and clinical profile sheet was used to seek information on personal and clinical variables. Information on disability, depression, performance in the activity of daily living, and degree of stroke severity was ascertained by using the Modified Rankin Scale (MRS), Physical Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Barthel Index, and National Institutes of Health Stroke (NIHSS). After binary logistic regression model, a multivariate logistic regression was applied to detect the independent predictor of depression.
resultsOver 86% (119) of the stroke survivors had no symptoms of depression, and only 14% (19) were reported to have symptoms of depression. Poststroke depression found significant association with disability (
conclusionClinician should use the community reintegration, referral, and mandatory screening of the stroke survivors at follow-up visit to rule out the probability of occurrence of poststroke depression.
