Risk-taking behaviour and executive functions, a major component of the risk of fall factors after recent stroke.
Article in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThis study investigated the weight of different cognitive disorders on patient behaviour influencing the risk of falls after recent stroke.
designSurvey and retrospective monocentric study. SUBJECTS/PATIENTS: 74 professionals/108 patients.
methodsSurvey of professionals to ask for their thoughts concerning the weight of different cognitive disorders on the risk of falls and a retrospective study of patients post-stroke to determine whether these cognitive deficits could distinguish fallers from non-fallers. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted.
resultsIn part 1, major cognitive disorders identified were anosognosia, confusion, inattention, precipitation, and unilateral spatial neglect. In part 2, 25 patients (23%) were fallers. After adjustment for length of rehabilitation stay and disease severity, on multivariate analysis, the cognitive disorders significantly associated with risk of falls were anosognosia (odds ratio 16), precipitation (13.3), inattention (8.3), and perseveration (4.9). Unilateral spatial neglect was not independently associated. Aphasia did not play a role.
conclusionSome cognitive disorders, easily identified before any neuropsychological assessment, strongly modify patient behaviour in terms of risk of falls. It is proposed that these disorders should not be considered as an additional factor along with physical and general factors but rather as a multiplying factor applied to the others.
