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

backgroundEach year, 795,000 Americans experience a stroke. As stroke mortality declines, more individuals are in the chronic phase of recovery (>6 months post-stroke). Over 80% of stroke survivors have multiple, chronic health conditions (MCC). While the relationship between MCC and mortality and function during acute recovery has been explored, less is known about how MCC burden affects participation in chronic stroke survivors.

objectiveThis study investigated whether MCC burden is related to participation in those with chronic stroke.

methodsTwo hundred and sixty-six participants with chronic (≥6 months) stroke were included in this cross-sectional and retrospective analysis. Participants had a mean age of 62.2 ± 12.8 years, and time since stroke (TSS) of 36.0 ± 44.6 months (114F/152 M). Participants completed the 6-minute Walk Test (6MWT), Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC), Modified Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (MCIR) to quantify the presence and severity of chronic illness across 14 body systems, and the Stroke Impact Scale - Participation subscale (SIS-P). Participation (SIS-P) was the dependent variable. Independent variables were entered into a sequential regression model in three blocks: demographic variables, physical capacity (6MWT distance) and balance self-efficacy (ABC), and MCC burden (MCIR).

resultsAfter adjusting for age, sex, and time since stroke, physical capacity and balance self-efficacy explained 31.4% (

conclusionsMCC burden is a significant contributor to variance in participation in chronic stroke survivors, above and beyond demographics, physical capacity, and self-efficacy, and therefore should be considered when creating rehabilitation programs to improve participation.
