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

purposeTo characterize the effects of dyad interventions on stroke survivor and caregiver health-related quality of life (HRQOL), participation, and activity outcomes.

methodsFive databases were searched using: stroke AND social support/dyad relationships AND intervention. No date or language restrictions were applied. Title/abstract/full-text review and data extraction were conducted by two independent raters. Studies that tested between-group or within-group effects of an intervention that engaged both dyad members together in at least one intervention session and measured at least one outcome of interest (HRQOL, participation, or activity) in both dyad members were included.

resultsAmong 64,988 records, 401 full-text articles were reviewed, and 17 studies were included. Three dyad intervention types were identified: stroke education and caregiver training, joint psychosocial interventions, and caregiver-mediated exercise. Effects on HRQOL were mixed. Among five studies that favored the intervention group on HRQOL, effects ranged from moderate to large among stroke survivors (Cohen's

conclusionsThere is emerging evidence for certain types of dyad intervention after stroke. Future research should examine the effectiveness and mechanisms of these dyad interventions and include measures of caregiver activity and participation.
