Individualized goals expressed by patients undergoing stroke rehabilitation: an observational study.
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 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
objectivesTo explore the rehabilitation goals measured with the Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) in patients undergoing acute and subacute stroke rehabilitation. In addition, to assess whether PSFS goals corresponded to impairments and activity limitations, as identified by standardized measures.
designObservational study.
participantsA total of 71 participants undergoing inpatient stroke rehabilitation.
methodsThe PSFS goals were linked to second-level categories in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), using established linking rules. Frequencies of the linked ICF categories were calculated. Frequencies of participants with limitations in walking, activities of daily living (ADL), vision, language, and cognition, were calculated, along with goals in corresponding areas of functioning.
resultsThe participants' goals were linked to 50 second-level ICF categories, comprising areas such as walking and moving, ADL, language, vision, and cognition. The most frequent ICF categories were "Moving around in different locations" (n = 24), "Walking" (n = 23), "Toileting" (n = 16), "Hand and arm use (n = 12) and "Fine hand use (n = 12)". Of participants with limitations in walking, cognition, and vision, 85%, 10%, and 16%, respectively, had goals in these areas.
conclusionParticipants' goals included walking, ADL, language, vision, and cognition. Few with impairments in cognition or vision had goals in these corresponding areas on the PSFS.
