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

objectivesThe study aimed to analyze the impact of aphasia on quality of life (QoL) in persons with ischemic stroke per radiological severity, compare equally severe but nonaphasic stroke survivors, and analyze the impact of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) exposure

resultsAmong 93 patients with ischemic stroke, 87% presented with intermediate-to-low ASPECTS. According to the SAQoL, locomotion and transfers were the most compromised. QoL was significantly negatively correlated with higher ASPECTS and greater stroke impact in those with aphasia overall (p = 0.001). Those who received HBOT overall were significantly better than those who did not, regardless of group (p = 0.02 and 0.03).

conclusionThe present study shows that the radiological severity of stroke relates to QoL in those with poststroke aphasia. Among those with equal radiological severity, those with aphasia are worse off. Those who receive HBOT have better QoL.
