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

objectiveThere is a gap in understanding how post-stroke fatigue influences neurological function, motor skills, and the overall quality of life in different regions. This study aimed to investigate the association between post-stroke fatigue and poor prognosis of neurological function in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

methodsThis study conducted a retrospective investigation. A total of 242 acute ischemic stroke patients were admitted to the Department of Neurology of our hospital from January 2018 to December 2019. Clinical information upon patient admission was collected, including general patient information, Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) score, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at discharge, and follow-up assessments of one-year post-discharge. The impact of post-stroke fatigue on functional recovery at discharge and one year after discharge was analyzed. Clinical data were analyzed using statistical methods, including the Mann-Whitney U test, nonparametric rank-sum tests, chi-square, Fisher's exact tests, and binary logistic regression.

resultsBinary logistic regression showed that per capita monthly income at discharge (≥5001, OR = 0.064, 95%CI: 0.005-0.842), NIHSS score (OR = 26.676, 95%CI: 8.218-86.590), and FSS score (OR = 1.085, 95%CI: 1.023-1.185) had an impact on functional recovery (

conclusionThe prevalence of fatigue in patients with acute ischemic stroke is high, and post-stroke fatigue affects the functional recovery of patients both at discharge and 1 year after discharge.
