Nursing effects of finger exercise on cognitive function and others for cerebral ischemic stroke patients.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 3 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
objectiveTo investigate the nursing effects of finger exercise training on cognitive function and others for patients with cerebral ischemic stroke (CIS).
methodsA total of 200 patients with CIS were selected in this prospective study. According to the random number table method, they were divided into control group (n=100, routine nursing) and research group (n=100, routine nursing combined with finger exercise training). Various scales were used to evaluate the cognitive function, hand function, upper limb motor function, wrist flexor muscle tone, degree of neurological impairment and ability of daily living (ADL) in the two groups before and after intervention. And the incidence of mild vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) after intervention was compared.
resultsAfter intervention, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), hand function, Fugl-meyer Assessment (FMA) and ADL scores in both groups were significantly increased, and those in the research group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). There were opposite trends in the Neurologic Functional Defect (NIHSS) and Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) for wrist flexor scores (all P<0.05). The incidence of mild VCI in the research group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).
conclusionOn the basis of early rehabilitation nursing, combined finger exercise training can improve cognitive function, hand function, upper limb function and ADL for patients with CIS.
