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

backgroundStroke patients often experience limb dysfunction, which can significantly impact their quality of life and daily living abilities. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of nursing programs that incorporate multidisciplinary continuing care with the participation of nursing staff for patients with stroke and limb dysfunction.

methodsThis was a randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted from August 2021 to August 2023. Ninety stroke patients were randomly assigned to a control group (n = 45) and an observation group (n = 45). The control group received routine discharge care, while the observation group received multidisciplinary continuing care with the participation of nursing staff. Outcomes measured included Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scores for upper and lower limb function, quality of life, daily living ability (Barthel Index, MBI), and adverse reactions.

resultsThe FMA scores for upper and lower limbs were significantly higher in the observation group compared to the control group. The observation group also had significantly higher scores in all quality of life dimensions and MBI scores compared to the control group. There were 10 adverse reactions reported in the observation group and 22 in the control group.

conclusionsImplementing multidisciplinary continuing care with the participation of nursing staff for stroke patients with limb dysfunction has a positive effect on improving limb function, quality of life, and daily living abilities, while also being relatively safe.
