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.

Abstract

Objective: To examine the effectiveness of a family-based program for post-stroke patients and their families. Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial design was used. Participants were randomly selected in the experimental group (3 districts) and the comparison group (3 districts), with 62 families recruited. Sixty-two persons with new stroke and families (family caregivers and family members) who met the inclusion criteria were assigned to two groups, 31 in each group. Using the Neuman System Model as a framework, we implemented the stressors assessment and family-based intervention into the program. Participants in the comparison group received usual care, and those in the experimental group underwent a stressors assessment and received the family-based program. Measurement of functional status, depression, and complications in post-stroke patients and family function in family caregivers and family members, as well as caregiver burden and caregiver stress in family caregivers, were assessed at baseline, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks after enrollment. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, Bonferroni test, and repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: After participating in a 12-week family-based program, post-stroke patients in the experimental group showed statistically significant improvements in their functional status and decreased depression compared to the comparison group ( Conclusions: The study findings suggest that the present family-based program improved family function in family caregivers and family members and decreased caregiver burden and stress in family caregivers. The program also improved functional status and reduced depression in post-stroke patients. It is suggested the duration of the program be extended to assess its sustainable effectiveness.
