Analysis of factors affecting acute fatigue in patients with acute ischemic stroke: A single-center study from China.
Article in Clinics (Sao Paulo, Brazil), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveExamination of the current status of acute fatigue in patients with acute ischemic stroke and analysis of contributing factors.
methodsA convenience sampling method was utilized to recruit 420 patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke, who were admitted to the affiliated hospital of Putian University in Fujian Province, China, between October 2022 and December 2023. Data collection involved the administration of a general information questionnaire, the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), the Fear of Progression Questionnaire (FoP-Q-SF), the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), the Barthel Index, and the Modified Rankin Scale (MRS).
resultsThe mean score for Post-stroke Fatigue (PSF) was 3.08 ± 1.52, and the prevalence rate of elevated PSF was 37.4 %. Unconditional logistic regression analysis revealed that social support functioned as a protective factor against fatigue in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Conversely, being female, having chronic comorbidities, having a stroke located in the basal ganglion, high Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) scores, poor self-care ability, and fear of disease progression were identified as risk factors for fatigue (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01).
conclusionPerceived Stress Factor (PSF) is a common and serious consequence following stroke, which considerably impacts patients' recovery and overall quality of life. Consequently, clinical practice should prioritize the identification and management of PSF through early intervention and targeted therapeutic strategies to enhance patient prognosis and quality of life. Additionally, further research is warranted to investigate the underlying biological mechanisms of PSF and to develop potential intervention strategies. This study adopted a cross-sectional research design.
