Stroke and activity limitation in Chinese adults 65 Years or older.
Article in Disability and health journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundDifferences in activity limitations between stroke survivors and people with other chronic conditions and how their levels of activity limitation vary by sociodemographic characteristics have not been well quantified.
objectiveTo quantify activity limitations experienced by Chinese older adult stroke survivors and explore stroke effects in specific subgroups.
methodsWe used Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey 2017-2018 data (N = 11,743) to produce population-weighted estimates of activity limitations using the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and the Instrumental ADL (IADL) scales for older adults (age 65 and older) stroke survivors compared to those with non-stroke chronic conditions and those without chronic conditions. Multinomial logistic regressions were run with outcomes "no activity limitation," "IADL only limitation," and "ADL limitation."
resultsThe weighted marginal prevalence of ADL limitation was higher in the stroke group (14.8%) than in those with non-stroke chronic condition (4.8%) or no chronic conditions (3.6%) (p < 0.01). The corresponding prevalence of IADL limitation for the three groups was 36.0%, 31.4%, and 22.2%, respectively (p < 0.01). Stroke survivors aged ≥ 80 years had a higher prevalence of ADL/IADL limitation than those aged 65-79 years (p < 0.01). Formal education was associated with a lower prevalence of ADL/IADL limitation in each chronic condition group (p < 0.01).
conclusionsPrevalence and severity of activity limitation among Chinese older adult stroke survivors were several times higher than those without chronic conditions and those with non-stroke chronic conditions. Stroke survivors, particularly those aged ≥80 years and those without formal education, might be predisposed to more severe activity limitation and require more support to compensate.
