Effect of rehabilitation therapy combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation on cognitive dysfunction and activities of daily life in stroke patients.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2023. 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
objectiveTo determine the effects of rehabilitation therapy combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NES) on cognitive dysfunction and ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) of stroke patients.
methodsThe clinical data of 100 stroke patients treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from February 2019 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the therapeutic regimen, the patients given rehabilitation therapy combined with NES were assigned to a study group (n=52) and those given rehabilitation therapy alone were assigned to a control group (n=48). The treatment efficacy in the two groups was evaluated, and the levels of plasma cortisol (Cor) and neuropeptide Y (NPY), neurological function, motor function, balance ability, swallowing function, cognitive function, negative emotions, and quality of life (QoL) after therapy were evaluated. The maximum amplitude of surface electromyography (sEMG) and swallowing time were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe study group yielded significantly better efficacy than the control group (P<0.05). Before therapy, there were no significant differences between the two groups in Cor and NPY levels, neurological function, motor function, balance ability, swallowing function, cognitive function, sEMG, swallowing time or negative emotions (P>0.05). After therapy, the above all indices all greatly improved, with more notso in the study group. In addition, after therapy, the study group had significantly better QoL indexes than the control group.
conclusionRehabilitation therapy combined with NES is effective in treating stroke. It can substantially ameliorate the cognitive dysfunction, prognosis and QoL in patients.
