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

introductionA biopsychosocial approach entailing person-centered factors provides valuable insight to post-stroke rehabilitation potential. The consideration of an individual's belief in their capabilities, known as self-efficacy, may prove especially informative in the inpatient rehabilitation setting where motor learning often occurs.

objectiveTo assess the predictive utility of self-efficacy in functional independence status change during inpatient rehabilitation.

methodsIndividuals with stroke admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) completed an assessment battery near IRF admission and discharge involving motor assessments, participant-reported self-efficacy (Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire), and functional independence status evaluation (sum of self-care and mobility Quality Indicators (QI) from the IRF-Patient Assessment Instrument). Linear regression was performed to determine the predictive performance of self-efficacy on QI change during IRF stay while accounting for age, time post-stroke, and IRF length of stay. Regression procedures were repeated for separate subgroups based on initial motor impairment level.

resultsThirty individuals with stroke (14 females, age = 67.0 ± 9.80 years, 10.4 ± 3.46 days post-stroke) were enrolled. Self-efficacy at IRF admission explained a significant percentage of variance in QI Change for the cohort (R DISCUSSION: Findings generated from this work support the predictive utility of self-efficacy in early post-stroke motor recovery. The inclusion of self-efficacy in a multi-faceted evaluation framework may therefore optimize rehabilitation outcomes by providing therapists with additional knowledge to better tailor an individual's care.
