Burden, anxiety and depressive symptoms in partners - course and predictors during the first two years after stroke.
Article in Topics in stroke rehabilitation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundPartners of patients with stroke are at high risk for burden, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Previous studies have reported contradictory results and did not investigate these three courses simultaneously. In this study we comprehensively studied the courses and predictors of burden, anxiety and depressive symptoms in partners of patients with stroke during the first two years after stroke. They were analyzed as outcomes as well as predictors for each other.
methodsSix general hospitals recruited 215 patients with stroke and their partners for a longitudinal cohort study. Mixed model analyses were performed for burden (CSI), anxiety (HADS-A) and depressive symptoms (HADS-D) as time-varying outcome variables, measured at four time points during two years after stroke.
resultsBurden and depressive symptoms did not significantly change over time, whereas anxiety symptoms initially decreased followed by an increase. Higher burden was predicted by partners' younger age, higher education, more symptoms of anxiety and depression, and by patients' greater stroke severity, lower cognitive functioning and more symptoms of anxiety and depression. More anxiety symptoms were predicted by higher burden, more depressive symptoms, and lower self-efficacy of the partner. More depressive symptoms were predicted by older age, higher burden, more symptoms of anxiety, less proactive coping strategies of the partner, and more depressive symptoms of the patients.
conclusionsBurden, anxiety and depressive symptoms are interrelated and become chronic in partners of patients with stroke. It is important to screen partners early after stroke to identify partners who are at risk for negative outcomes.
