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
Background: The importance of self-management behavior has been widely acknowledged in global studies, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving patients' emotional well-being, enhancing quality of life, preventing stroke recurrence, and reducing mortality and readmission rates. However, existing research indicates that self-management behavior among older adults hospitalized for stroke remains underdeveloped. Furthermore, limited studies have examined the correlations between self-management behavior, family care, and chronic disease resource utilization in this population. Objective: This study aims to investigate self-management behavior, family care, and chronic disease resource utilization among Chinese older adults hospitalized for stroke and to explore the relationships among these variables. Specifically, it examines the mediating role of chronic disease resource utilization between self-management behavior and family care. Methods: A cross-sectional correlational design followed the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology checklist for quality reporting. Between December 2023 and January 2025, a total of 627 Chinese older adults hospitalized for stroke were recruited from three tertiary grade-A hospitals in two cities in China. Data were collected using the Demographic Characteristics Questionnaire, the Stroke Patient Self-Management Behavior Assessment Scale, the Family APGAR Scale, and the Chronic Illness Resources Survey. Descriptive statistics, univariate analysis, correlation analysis, and process plug-in mediation effect analysis were applied to the data. Results: The total scores for self-management behavior, family care, and chronic disease resource utilization were (M = 165.94, SD = 51.26), (M = 5.51, SD = 1.65), and (M = 72.15, SD = 16.73), respectively. These scores indicate moderate levels of self-management behavior, family care, and chronic disease resource utilization. Self-management behavior was positively correlated with family care ( Conclusion: The self-management behavior, family care, and chronic disease resource utilization among Chinese older adults hospitalized for stroke were found to be at moderate levels, indicating a need for improvement. Family care directly affects self-management behavior and indirectly affects it through chronic disease resource utilization. Healthcare professionals should focus on enhancing health education and providing psychological support for stroke patients to improve family care, alleviate fears regarding disease progression, and ultimately promote better self-management behavior.
