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.

Abstract

introductionStroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Stroke survivors and their caregivers often face profound social isolation and various participation restrictions, resulting in frustration and adverse health outcomes. Dyad-focused interventions, which address both survivor and caregiver needs, are essential during the transition process. However, few interventions equally prioritise the outcomes of both survivors and caregivers. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a newly developed dyad-focused strategy training intervention in enhancing participation among stroke survivors and their caregivers. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This study employs a single-blind, parallel-group randomised controlled trial with allocation concealment and assessor blinding. We aim to enrol 138 stroke survivor-caregiver dyads, randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the experimental intervention group or the control group. Both groups will receive their usual rehabilitation plus 45-60 min sessions of the intervention twice weekly for a total of 12 sessions. Outcome measures, including the Participation Measure-3 Domains, 4 Dimensions, General Self-Efficacy Scale and Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care, will be collected at baseline, post-intervention and at 3-month, 6-month and 12-month follow-ups. Data will be analysed using multiple linear regression and mixed-effects regression models. Qualitative indepth interviews with participants, caregivers and therapists will be conducted post intervention, transcribed and thematically analysed. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee of Taipei Medical University (approval number: N202203083), National Taiwan University Hospital (approval number: 202207096RINA) and Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital (approval number: 11 M-107). Findings will be disseminated through presentations at scientific conferences and publications in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05571150; Preresults.
