Different Stroke Scales; Which Scale or Scales Should Be Used?
Review in Caspian journal of internal medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundThere has been a considerable development in the clinometric of stroke. But researchers are concerned that some scales are too generic, inherently and the insight may not be provided. The current study was conducted to determine which scale or scales should be used in stroke survivors.
methodsWe selected 67 studies which were published between January 2010 and December 2018 from Up to date, CINAHL, ProQuest, Scopus, PubMed, Embase, Medline, Elsevier and Web of Science with MeSH terms. Inclusion criteria were: clinical trials, prospective studies, retrospective cohort studies, or cross-sectional studies; original research in adult human stroke survivors. We excluded the following articles: non-adult population; highly selected studies or treatment studies without incidence data; commentaries, single case reports, review article, editorials and non-English articles or articles without full text available.
resultsFace Arm Speech Test and Cincinnati Pre-Hospital Stroke Scale scales because it was easy to learn and rapidly administer the recommended dose to use in pre-hospital, but there are not gold standard in stroke diagnosis in Pre-Hospital. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale valuable in the acute stage for middle cerebral artery, not chronic or long term post stroke outcome. The Barthel Index scores for approximately three weeks could predict activities of daily living disabilities in 6 months.
conclusionEvery scale has an advantage and a disadvantage and we were not able to introduce the gold standard for each item, but some special scales were used more in the studies, preferred for comparing with other studies to match the research results.
