The Life After Stroke In Northern Sweden Study (LASINS): Methodology, cohort demographics and initial results.
Review in NeuroRehabilitation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundTo advance rehabilitation we need a comprehensive understanding of functioning and disability of people after stroke.
objectiveTo present an overview of the methodology of the Life After Stroke In Northern Sweden Study, compare participants and non-participants regarding gender and age, and describe baseline sociodemographics, stroke characteristics and the participants' self-rated degree of recovery.
methodsData were collected through a study specific questionnaire, from the participants' medical records and with internationally established self-assessment tools focusing on sleep disturbances, depressive symptoms, fatigue, physical activity, and remaining physical and cognitive impairments, activity limitations, participation restrictions and life satisfaction.
resultsOf 301 potential participants, 160 comprise the final sample (response rate 53%; 86 men and 74 women, mean age 73 years±11, mean time since stroke onset 35 months±11; 18- 61). Most participants had an ischemic stroke (87%), were retired (84%), cohabitant (63%) and walked independently (71%). The mean self-rated degree of recovery was 75 (SD±24; 0- 100).
conclusionsThese baseline data together with forthcoming studies will describe stroke-related impairments, activity limitations, participation restrictions and life satisfaction more than one year after stroke, and deepen our understanding of factors of importance for a healthy and successful life after stroke.
