Change characteristics of health-related quality of life and its association with post-stroke fatigue at four-year follow-up.
Observational study in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 explore trajectories that describe change in post-stroke health-related quality of life with fatigue as outcome.
designObservational and prospective study. SUBJECTS: Stroke survivors (N = 144) with predominantly mild or moderate strokes.
methodsThe multidimensional Stroke-Specific Quality of Life scale was used at 1 and 4 years, and the Fatigue Severity Scale at 4 years post-stroke. Latent class growth analyses were used as person-oriented analyses to identify meaningful trajectories. Socio-demographic and stroke-related covariables provided customary adjustment of the outcome, as well as prediction of class membership.
resultsThe latent class growth analysis models were estimated for "physical health", "visual-language", and "cognitive-social-mental" components of the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life scale, which extracted trajectories describing a variation in stable, deteriorating and improving functional patterns. The stable, well-functioning trajectory was most frequent across all components. More pronounced fatigue was associated with trajectories describing worse functioning, which was more prominent among females compared with males. Living alone implied more fatigue in the "cognitive-social-mental" component. Within the "visual-language" components' trajectories, younger and older participants reported more fatigue compared with middle-aged participants.
conclusionMost participants belonged to the stable, well-functioning trajectories, which showed a consistently lower level of fatigue compared with the other trajectories.
