Association Between Physical Activity and Stroke Recurrence: A Cross-Sectional Study.

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
aimThis study investigated the association between physical activity and stroke recurrence.
methodsThis is a descriptive cross-sectional study. Convenience sampling was used to collect data on 75 stroke survivors. The inclusion criteria were patients with stroke recurrence. The sample size was determined using G*Power software with an effect size of 0.35, p-value of .05, power of 80%, and attrition rate of 20%. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire and International Physical Activity Questionnaire short-form (IPAQ-SF), then categorized into mild, moderate, and vigorous physical activity. Data were analyzed using Spearman's rho correlation test.
resultsThis result showed that 84% of participants had ischemic stroke, had mild physical activity (46.7%), and experienced first stroke recurrence (92%). There is a significant association between physical activity and stroke recurrence (p = .02, r = -0.26), which means that higher physical activity will decrease stroke recurrence.
conclusionLack of physical activity is associated with stroke recurrence. Physical activity plays a critical role in secondary prevention for stroke survivors by improving cardiovascular health and reducing the chance of stroke recurrence. Thus, nurses and health professionals should motivate stroke survivors to perform regular physical activity and ensure safety and effectiveness in promoting recovery and overall health for post-stroke patients.
