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

Background: Stroke survivors in post-acute care frequently experience physiological dysfunction and reduced quality of life. This study aims to assess the impact of the Post-Acute Care Interprofessional Collaborative Practice (PAC-IPCP) program across different care settings, and to identify sensitive tools for assessing physiological functions among post-acute stroke survivors. Methods: This retrospective study involved 210 stroke survivors in Taiwan. Participants who self-selection for their preferred between hospital care setting and home care setting under PAC-IPCP. Multiple assessment tools were utilized, including the Barthel Index (BI), Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), EQ-5D-3L, and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL). The logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratios of various functional assessment tools between hospital and home care settings. Additionally, the area under the ROC curves was used to determine which functional assessment tools had higher accuracy in measuring the association between care settings. Results: Of the study population, 138 stroke survivors (65.71%) selection hospital care setting and 72 stroke survivors (34.29%) selection home care setting. The PAC-IPCP program was equally effective in both care settings for physical function status and quality of life improvements. Specifically, the BI emerged as the most sensitive tool for assessing care settings, with an adjusted OR of 1.04 (95% CI:1.02-1.07, p < 0.0001; AUC = 0.7557). IPCP-based hospital and home care models are equally effective in facilitating improved functional outcomes in post-acute stroke survivors. Conclusion: The PAC-IPCP program is versatile and effective across care settings. The BI stands out as a robust assessment tool for physiological functions, endorsing its broader clinical application. Future studies should also consider swallowing and nutritional status for a more holistic approach to rehabilitation.
