Relationship between Bowel/Bladder Function and Discharge in Older Stroke Patients in Convalescent Rehabilitation Wards: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Progress in rehabilitation medicine, 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
Objectives: : Many stroke patients experience motor and cognitive dysfunctions that make living at home challenging. We aimed to identify the factors associated with hospital discharge to home in older stroke patients in convalescent rehabilitation wards where intensive and comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation are performed following acute-phase treatment. Methods: : A retrospective cohort study was conducted among 1227 older stroke patients registered in the database of the Council of Kaga Local Stroke Network, Japan, between 2015 and 2019. Patients' basic characteristics, discharge destination, type and severity of stroke, cognitive status, and activities of daily living (ADL) including continence were evaluated. Results: : The proportion of subjects discharged to home was 62.3%. The mean hospital stay in the home discharge group was shorter than that in the non-home discharge group (111 days vs. 144.6 days, P <0.001). The following factors were associated with discharge to home: age (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 2.801, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.473, 2.940]; P <0.001), sex (AOR: 1.513, 95% CI [1.112, 2.059]), stroke type (AOR: 1.426, 95% CI [1.013, 2.007]), low cognitive status (AOR: 3.750, 95% CI [2.615, 5.379]), low level of bladder control (AOR: 2.056, 95% CI [1.223, 3.454]), and low level of bowel control (AOR: 2.823, 95% CI [1.688, 4.722]). Conclusions: : Age, sex, stroke type, cognitive function, and ADL scores for bladder and bowel control were associated with discharge to home. Improving continence management regarding both voiding and defecation may be a promising care strategy to promote hospital discharge to home in older stroke patients.
