Association between depression and adherence to upper limb exercises among community-dwelling stroke survivors: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Health science reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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 and Aims: Upper limb recovery after stroke tends to be slower and incomplete. Participation in motor rehabilitation and exercise adherence are crucial to improve motor recovery. However, post-stroke depression (PSD) could impede active participation in exercises. Therefore, this study investigates the association between depression and exercise adherence among community-dwelling stroke survivors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 215 stroke survivors undergoing motor rehabilitation between February 2021 and January 2023. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Stroke-Specific Measure of Adherence to Home-based Exercises (SS-MAHE) were measured to assess depression symptoms and exercise adherence, respectively. Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) was administered to identify the influence of impairment on these factors. Chi-square and multinomial and binary logistic regression analyses were applied to determine the relationships between these measurements. Results: Using the Chi-square test, the PHQ-9 was significantly associated with SS-MAHE ( Conclusions: PSD significantly impacts exercise adherence, with moderate depression notably reducing adherence rates. Incorporating mental health support into stroke rehabilitation could improve exercise adherence and potentially enhance upper limb motor recovery outcomes.
