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
Background: Cognitive impairment is common after stroke and screening is recommended. However, there is a lack of evidence on the best way to assess cognition after stroke and a tendency to focus on the clinician rather than stroke survivor. The Theoretical Framework of Acceptability (TFA) was developed to better understand the factors that contribute to the acceptability of healthcare interventions from the patient perspective. We aimed to explore the acceptability of post-stroke cognitive assessment from the stroke survivor perspective, using the TFA as a lens. Methods: We analysed interviews conducted with people admitted to hospital after stroke. Inclusion criteria: ≥18 years, able to provide informed consent. Semi-structured interviews were conducted 1-3 weeks after discharge from hospital in the participant's home to explore the experience of cognitive assessment in hospital. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed using framework analysis, with a framework underpinned by the TFA. Results: Of the 13 participants interviewed, 8 were male, 6 lived in the most deprived SIMD quintile. Ages were 62-84 years. Five themes were identified that describe the factors that influence acceptability of cognitive screening from the patient perspective: (1) participation motives; (2) trust in health professionals; (3) perceived risks of harm; (4) information provision; (5) burden of testing. Conclusion: Clinical teams should be confident that stroke survivors expect cognitive testing and understand its rational. However, the provision of information and results of cognitive testing should be person-centred.
