Important-performance analysis to conceptualize goal priorities in community dwelling stroke survivors.
Article in Topics in stroke rehabilitation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundIt is important for clinicians to have a better understanding of stroke survivor's goals. Important performance analysis (IPA) is a tool that could be utilized to identify goal priorities in rehabilitation.
objectivesTo examine the utility of the IPA method to identify goal priorities in a diverse group of community dwelling stroke survivors.
methodsThirty-eight stroke survivors completed private structured interviews and were asked to rate their perceived importance and performance of 37 goal areas. Important-performance analysis (IPA) was utilized to determine goal priorities for the overall sample. Different IPA methods used to identify goal priorities were compared. Goal priorities were also compared by age (dichotomized as <65 and ≥65 years) and sex (male or female).
resultsThe IPA method effectively separated the goals into the four quadrants, and distinguished which goals were a priority for the sample of stroke survivors. The five goals that were consistently identified as a focus area were: hand function, driving, balance, memory, and arm strength. Men rated mood control as more important than women (
conclusionsStroke survivors continue to have goals related to their stroke recovery in the years after their stroke. Both current performance as well as perceived importance should be considered during goal discussions with stroke survivors. IPA can help identify goal priorities in this population.
