What About the Differences in Body Representation and Body Image Between Stroke Patients and Healthy Controls? Psychological and Clinical Implications.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07386314 (Motor and Cognitive Telerehabilitation for Acquired Brain Injury), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
introductionThe integrity of body representation can be profoundly compromised in neurological patients. This study aims to evaluate body representation in both healthy individuals and stroke patients. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study included 40 chronic stroke patients recruited from the Neurorehabilitation Unit, IRCCS Centro Neurolesi "Bonino-Pulejo," and 40 healthy controls from the University of Messina. Both groups were age- and gender-matched. All participants completed the Body Uneasiness Test to assess body image discomfort and body schema accuracy.
resultsA total of 80 participants were enrolled, divided equally into two groups matched by gender: stroke patients and healthy controls. Healthy controls showed higher scores in compulsive self-monitoring (p = 0.023), while stroke patients exhibited greater depersonalization (p = 0.039) and significantly higher psychological distress (p ≤ 0.001). DISCUSSION: These findings underscore the complexity of bodily and psychological experiences in both health and disease, emphasizing the need for tailored clinical interventions. While the direct impact on quality of life may vary, addressing these issues can contribute to improved overall well-being for both groups.
