1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 how people with stroke, discharged to skilled nursing facilities before returning home, experience the chain of care and rehabilitation.

designQualitative, semi-structured interview design.

methodsThirteen stroke survivors discharged from a stroke unit to a skilled nursing facility before returning to independent living participated. Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted 2-5 months after stroke and analysed with content analysis.

resultsThe analysis resulted in three categories, Organizational processes, critical and complex, Rehabilitation, the right support at the right time and Adaptation to the changed situation, with a total of 9 subcategories. The informants perceived low participation in planning and goalsetting and limited information. Support from the healthcare services was important to proceed with improvements although the amount of supported training varied. Factors hindering and facilitating managing everyday life were described, as well as lingering uncertainty of what the future would be like.

conclusionSupport and rehabilitation as well as individuals' needs varied, throughout the chain of care. To enable participation in the rehabilitation, assistance in setting goals and repeated information is warranted. Tailored care and rehabilitation throughout the chain of care should be provided, followed up at home, and coordinated for smooth transitions between organizations.
