Cognitive Function is a Predictor of the Daily Step Count in Patients With Subacute Stroke With Independent Walking Ability: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo investigate the physical, cognitive, and psychological factors related to daily step count in patients with subacute stroke.
designProspective cohort study.
settingA subacute rehabilitation ward with 160 beds.
participantsPatients with subacute stroke who could walk independently (N=101). Among the 101 participants enrolled in this study (mean age, 64.5±13.5y), 64.4% (n=65) were men and 69.3% (n=70) were patients with cerebral infarction.
interventionsWe assessed ambulatory activity using a pedometer placed in the pants pocket on the nonparalyzed side continuously for 7 consecutive days. We also obtained demographic and clinical information and recorded the following measurement scores: Stroke Impairment Assessment Set, FIM, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Self-Rating Depression Scale, and Apathy Scale. All measurements were collected at admission and discharge.
main outcome measuresThe outcomes assessed were ambulatory activity, motor and sensory functions, functional disability, cognitive function, depressive symptoms, and motivation.
resultsThe median daily steps ambulated at admission and discharge were 5584 steps (interquartile range, 3763-7096 steps) and 5991 steps (interquartile range, 4329-8204 steps), respectively. In the univariate regression analysis, age, sex, serum albumin level, affected side of the brain, and MMSE score at admission were significantly associated with the daily step count at discharge. Multiple regression analysis using these 5 items as independent variables revealed that the MMSE score at admission (reference, 28-30 points; B, -2.07; 95% confidence interval, -3.89 to -0.35; β, -0.22;
conclusionsCognitive function at admission had a significant association with the daily step count at discharge in patients with subacute stroke who could walk independently.
