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
Stroke causes functional disabilities and reduces the quality of life of stroke survivors. This retrospective cohort study aimed to examine changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) six months after a stroke and the effect of stroke characteristics and sociodemographic factors on HRQoL. Participants completed a questionnaire that included the stroke characteristics, sociodemographic characteristics, and the 5-level European Quality of Life 5 dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) before discharge. Follow-up assessments of HRQoL were performed at one, three, and six months after discharge. Descriptive statistics and linear mixed models were used for data analyses. A total of 155 first-stroke patients were included, of which N = 152 patients completed follow-up assessments until six months. The mean EQ-5D-5L index score at discharge was 0.69 (SD 0.33). The trends of HRQoL significantly increased from discharge to three months, but there was no significant HRQoL improvement after three months. Considering stroke severity, mean HRQoL significantly improved for patients with no stroke symptoms, minor stroke, and moderate stroke (p < 0.05) but not those with severe stroke (p = 0.156). HRQoL among patients with sufficient monthly income significantly increased over six months (p < 0.05). HRQoL among patients with severe stroke and having insufficient income were poor. Supportive programs are required to improve their HRQoL.
