Activities of daily living interventions on activity performance of inpatients post-stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in The British journal of occupational therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Introduction: Inpatient rehabilitation is the best time window to improve patient performance post-stroke. Little is known about the type and effectiveness of activity interventions. This study aims to review activities of daily living interventions and evaluate their effectiveness on activity performance for stroke inpatients. Method: MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science were searched. Randomised controlled trials investigating the effects of activities of daily living interventions for stroke inpatients were included. Two reviewers independently selected the studies and extracted data. Meta-analysis was conducted on relevant data with a random effect model with 95% CI. Results: Fourteen randomised controlled trials involving 602 stroke inpatients, were included. Both experimental and control groups offered activities of daily living interventions. Thirteen experimental groups offered added components, such as imagery and repetitive practice. Five studies reported significant improvement in activity performance within experimental and control groups. A meta-analysis of 12 randomised controlled trials with 512 participants revealed non-significant results for activity performance between the two groups. Conclusion: Both experimental and control groups in the included studies provided activities of daily living interventions. Added components were included in 13 out of 14 experimental groups. Meta-analysis revealed no significant difference between the two groups as they both offered activities of daily living interventions.
