Functional impairment and post-stroke depression: a 6-month longitudinal study.
Article in Trends in psychiatry and psychotherapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveIn recent decades, there have been considerable advances in treatment and prevention of acute ischemic stroke (IS). However, even after treatment, approximately two-thirds of patients with IS have some degree of disability that requires rehabilitation, along with an increased likelihood of developing psychiatric disorders, particularly depression. The objective of this study was to determine the predictors of post-stroke depression in a 6-month period in patients with IS.
methodsNinety-seven patients with IS without previous depression were included in the study. The study protocol was applied during hospitalization and at 30, 90, and 180 days after hospital discharge. A binary logistic regression was then conducted. Age, sex, marital status, occupation, educational level, thrombolysis, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, Barthel Index (BI), and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score were included as independent variables.
resultsOf the 97 patients, 24% of patients developed post-stroke depression. In the longitudinal follow-up, an mRS score of > 0 was the lone significant predictor of development of depression (odds ratio [OR] = 5.38; 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 1.25-23.12; p < 0.05).
conclusionOur results showed that in patients without previous depression, functional impairment of any degree is associated with a 5-fold greater chance of development of depression in the first 6 months post-stroke compared to patients without functional impairment.
