The feasibility and effectiveness of telecare consultations in a nurse-led post-acute stroke clinic.
Article in BMJ health & care informatics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTelecare may provide an alternative to maintaining post-acute stroke care services in making benefit to both the providers and the stroke survivors, although study is needed to investigate its feasibility and effectiveness in integrating this innovative delivery mode into a routine.
objectivesThe objectives of this study are to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of telecare consultations in a nurse-led post-acute stroke clinic.
methodsA pre- and post-test one group quasi-experimental design was adopted. Subjects were recruited in the clinic and received three secondary stroke care consultations in 3 months via telecare from stroke nurses. Data were collected at pre- and post-intervention. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the two time-points for differences in effectiveness.
resultsNinety-two stroke survivors participated. The drop-out rate was 27%. The majority perceived the programme as time-friendly and cost-saving and as alleviating their health-related worries. At the 3-month follow-up, notable improvements were observed in the activities of daily living and the strength domain of stroke-specific quality of life.
conclusionsIntegrating telecare consultations within nurse-led stroke clinics is a feasible and acceptable strategy for monitoring the health and fostering the self-care abilities of individuals following their discharge from hospital after an acute stroke episode.
