Factors associated with changes in walking performance in individuals 3 months after stroke or TIA: secondary analyses from a randomised controlled trial of SMS-delivered training instructions in Sweden.
Trial report in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02902367 (Effects of Sms-guided Outdoor Walking and Strength Training After Acute Stroke and TIA - a Randomized Controlled Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
objectivesThis study aimed to identify factors related to changes in walking performance in individuals 3 months after a stroke or TIA.
designCross-sectional study with post hoc analysis of a randomised controlled study.
settingUniversity Hospital, Sweden.
participants79 individuals, 64 (10) years, 37% women, who were acutely hospitalised because of stroke or TIA between November 2016 and December 2018. Inclusion criteria were patients aged 18 or above and the major eligibility criterion was the ability to perform the 6 min walking test.
interventionThe intervention group received standard care plus daily mobile phone text messages (short message service) with instructions to perform regular outdoor walking and functional leg exercises in combination with step counting and training diaries. The control group received standard care. OUTCOME MEASURES: Multivariate analysis was performed and age, sex, group allocation, comorbidity, baseline 6 min walk test, body mass index (BMI), cognition and chair-stand tests were entered as possible determinants for changes in the 6 min walk test.
resultsMultiple regression analyses showed that age (standardised beta -0.33, 95% CI -3.8 to -1.05, p<0.001), sex (-0.24, 95% CI -66.9 to -8.0, p=0.014), no comorbidity (-0.16, 95% CI -55.5 to 5.4, p=0.11), baseline BMI (-0.29, 95% CI -8.1 to -1.6, p=0.004), baseline 6 min walk test (-0.55, 95% CI -0.5 to -0.3, p<0.001) were associated with changes in 6 min walk test 3 months after the stroke event. The regression model described 36% of the variance in changes in the 6 min walk test.
conclusionsPost hoc regression analyses indicated that younger age, male sex, lower BMI and shorter 6 min walk test at baseline and possible no comorbidity contributed to improvement in walking performance at 3 months in patients with a recent stroke or TIA. These factors may be important when planning secondary prevention actions. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT02902367.
