In search of self after stroke: a longitudinal qualitative study in the context of client-centred rehabilitation.
Article in International journal of qualitative studies on health and well-being, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeThe aim was to illuminate the experiences of stroke survivors returning to everyday life in the year following stroke, in the context of client-centred rehabilitation.
methodsFour men who participated in a client-centred rehabilitation program were followed during the first year after stroke. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, allbut the first in the participants' home. The data were analysed using a grounded theory approach.
resultsThe results revealed a process with the overarching core category; The "new" self becomes reality through challenging everyday experiences, and five main categories driving the process: 1) Striving for structure in a "new" chaotic world, 2) Homecoming an ambiguous experience, 3) Reaching the "new" self through reflections of self-understanding, 4) Socialising in new circumstances, and 5) Realising a new reality.
conclusionsWhile in hospital, stroke survivors can have unrealistic expectations. When at home they can begin to realise their actual capacity . To find a "new" self after a stroke can involve time-consuming and taxing processes of reflections of self-understanding. Engagement in self-selected meaningful and valued activities can support stroke survivors' reconstruction of the "new" self but not all stroke survivors may succeed in finding their "new" self during the first year after stroke.
