Predictors and short-term outcomes of post-stroke fatigue in initial phase of transition from hospital to home: A prospective observational study.
Observational study in Journal of advanced nursing, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06255145 (Assessment of Body Composition, Fatigue, Mobility and Functional Status in Post-Stroke Individuals), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 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
aimTo analyse the interactions of associated factors with post stroke fatigue (PSF) after discharge home and determine the predictors of PSF and their impact on stroke survivors.
designA prospective observational study.
methodsA total of 94 patients with acute stroke were recruited between May 2019 -July 2020. The main outcomes were fatigue, depression, insomnia, sarcopenia, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and were assessed at admission and 1 month after discharge. Fatigue was measured using the Fatigue Assessment Scale. Depression and Insomnia were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Depression and Insomnia Severity Index, respectively. Sarcopenia was measured using the SARC-F questionnaire, and HRQOL was assessed using the Short Form-8.
resultsAcute phase PSF was an independent predictor of PSF after discharge home. Moreover the path analysis revealed that this effect is mediated through both the direct effect of acute-phase PSF on PSF after discharge home and through the indirect effect of interaction with pre-stroke SARC-F, acute phase depression, and acute phase insomnia, which remains a separate predictor of acute-phase PSF. In total, 17% of the survivors had persistent PSF. Persistent PSF was significantly associated with depression, insomnia, sarcopenia, and a lower quality of life scores.
conclusionsPost-stroke fatigue may occur in the acute phase and persists after discharge, it will not only affect later depression, insomnia, and quality of life, but also sarcopenia. IMPACT: Acute phase PSF was found to be an independent predictor of PSF after discharge home. In addition, the interaction with pre-stroke SARC-F, acute phase depression and insomnia had an indirect connection with PSF after discharge home, which remains a separate predictor of acute-phase PSF. Thus, early assessment and management of mental status, sleep problems, and sarcopenia during hospitalization might be an important step in post-stroke rehabilitation and home transition.
