1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To determine the proportion of patients who return to work after inpatient stroke rehabilitation and to identify demographic, clinical, and functional predictive factors for its success. Design: A retrospective follow-up study of patients with stroke who were premorbidly working and had completed inpatient rehabilitation in a large metropolitan hospital between January 2016 and December 2017. They underwent a telephone interview at 2 years post discharge. Setting: Inpatient rehabilitation and follow-up post discharge. Participants: A total of 314 patients with stroke (73.9% male) with mean age of 58.9 at time of stroke (N=314). Results: A total of 46% of 314 participants returned to work. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, viewing return to work as important (odds ratio [OR], 11.90; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.15-27.52), absence of language impairment (OR, 9.39; 95% CI, 3.01-29.34), ambulation FIM≥5 (supervision to independence level) on discharge (OR, 4.93; 95% CI, 2.44-9.98), cognitive FIM on discharge ≥25 (OR, 2.77; 95% CI, 1.19-6.47), employment in premorbid office work (OR, 2.67; 95% CI, 1.26-5.64), and a lower Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score at discharge (OR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.68-1.00) were associated with successful return to work. Conclusions: Viewing return to work as important, absence of language impairments on discharge, discharge ambulation FIM≥5, discharge cognitive FIM≥25, employment in premorbid office work, and a lower discharge CCI score were positive predictors of successful return to work.
