1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

PURPOSE/

objectivePerceptions of function can differ between persons with stroke and care partners. The current study described the frequency of discrepancy in ratings of poststroke functioning across romantic partners and examined associations between perceptions of function, depressive symptoms, and caregiver strain. RESEARCH METHOD/

designA secondary analysis was conducted using data from the baseline visit of an intervention pilot study. Twenty-nine dyads completed measures of perceived current functioning of the person with stroke (Stroke Impact Scale 3.0: overall percent recovery, ADL, and cognition), self-reported ratings of depressive symptoms for both partners (PROMIS Depression Short Form v8b), and self-reported caregiver strain for the care partners only (Caregiver Strain Index).

resultsA discrepancy of over 10 points on the SIS 3.0 variables was seen in over 50% of dyads for all subscales, with care partners rating worse recovery on average. Actor partner interdependence models showed that more depressive symptoms were associated with perceptions of worse overall recovery and ADL function in persons with stroke, whereas more depressive symptoms were associated with perceptions of worse cognitive and ADL function in care partners. Discrepancy in perception of ADL function was associated with more caregiver strain though this was inextricable from the overall level of impairment in ADL function perceived by the care partner. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS: These findings suggest that discrepancy in perceptions of stroke recovery among romantic partners is common. This underscores the importance of perception when considering risk for depression and caregiver strain as well as how to best promote psychological resilience following stroke.
