A qualitative study exploring the experiences of individuals living with stroke and their caregivers with community-based poststroke services: A critical need for action.
Article in PloS one, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundUnmet poststroke service needs are common among people living in the community. Community-Based Stroke Services (CBSS) have the potential to address these unmet needs, yet there are no comprehensive guidelines to inform the design of CBSS, and they remain an understudied aspect of stroke care. This study aimed to describe the perceived barriers to accessing community-based stroke services, benefits from these programs and opportunities to address unmet needs.
methodsThis was a qualitative descriptive study with interviews and focus groups conducted with people living with stroke and caregivers. Data were transcribed and analyzed thematically.
resultsEighty-five individuals with stroke and caregivers participated. Four key overarching themes were identified: facilitators and barriers to accessing and participating in community-based stroke services; components of helpful and unhelpful stroke services; perceived benefits of community-based stroke services; and opportunities to address unmet stroke service needs. INTERPRETATIONS: The findings resonate with and extend prior literature, suggesting a critical need for personalized and tailored stroke services to address persistent unmet needs. We call on relevant stakeholders, such as policymakers, providers, and researchers, to move these insights into action through comprehensive guidelines, practice standards and interventions to personalize and tailor CBSS.
