Cognitive impairment after a stroke in young adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International journal of stroke : official journal of the International Stroke Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
backgroundInformation about cognitive functioning is vital in the management of stroke, but the literature is mostly based on data from individuals older than 50 years of age who make up the majority of the stroke population. As cognitive functioning is subject to change due to aging, it is unclear whether such cognitive impairment patterns from the general stroke literature apply to the growing population of younger people with a stroke.
aimThe aim of the study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the proportion and severity of cognitive impairment in young-stroke patients. SUMMARY OF REVIEW: MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and Web of Science were systematically searched up to 11 October 2022. Studies were included if they reported on a population of young-stroke patients, evaluated cognitive functioning as an outcome measure, and reported original data. We estimated the pooled prevalence rates for cognitive impairment and for aphasia. In addition, we calculated the pooled estimates for the severity of impairment per cognitive domain in the chronic phase (defined as >6 months post-stroke). Six hundred thirty-five articles were identified, of which 29 were eligible for inclusion. The pooled prevalence of cognitive impairment was 44% (
conclusionAround half of all young-stroke patients present with cognitive impairment and around a quarter with aphasia. Our data suggest that patterns of impairment in young-stroke patients follow those in the general stroke literature.
