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

Purpose: Early rehabilitation after stroke can improve the prognosis of patients and enhance the effectiveness and quality of rehabilitation. Whether Quality Control Circle (QCC), as a quality management method, can be used to improve the early rehabilitation intervention rate of stroke patients has not been reported. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of QCC in increasing the early rehabilitation intervention rate of stroke patients, providing a reference program for quality improvement in rehabilitation medicine. Methods: The study was conducted based on a repeated measurement design. QCC was applied to improve the early rehabilitation intervention rate of stroke patients at Zhongshan Hospital (Xiamen), Fudan University from August to December 2023. The QCC activities were conducted following the standardized sequence of theme selection, activity planning, current situation grasping, goal setting, analysis, countermeasure formulation, countermeasure implementation and review, effect confirmation, standardization, review and improvement. The effect of the QCC was evaluated by comparing the changes in the early rehabilitation intervention rate of stroke patients before and after the QCC in 9 months. Results: The early rehabilitation intervention rate of stroke patients before QCC was (45.23 ± 12.10) %, the rate after QCC was (59.55 ± 18.17) %, and demonstrated statistically significant improvement (t=3.667, P=0.006). Conclusion: Applying the method of QCC can improve the early rehabilitation intervention rate of stroke patients, which will help to improve the quality of rehabilitation medicine.
