Stroke survivors' experiences with rebuilding life in the community and exercising at home: A qualitative study.
Article in Nursing open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimThis study aimed to explore how stroke survivors deal with stroke-related impairments when rebuilding their lives in the community and their experiences of exercising at home.
designAn explorative and descriptive qualitative study.
methodsA purposive sample of ten stroke survivors residing at home was recruited to explore experiences of rebuilding their lives in the community and exercising at home. One focus group interview was conducted followed by semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.
resultsThree main themes were identified: "Framing exercise within the context of everyday life" describes how stroke survivors integrate exercise in everyday activities with varying success and the social importance of exercising; "Managing the challenges of physical impairment" describes the taxing undertakings in daily living, loss of concentration and identity; "Long-term challenges of everyday life" describes how the stroke survivors manage depression and live with a sense of uncertainty.
