Stroke Caregiver Needs in a Population-Based Study.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundMost individuals who have experienced a stroke require comprehensive rehabilitation beyond initial medical care, with informal, unpaid caregivers playing a crucial role in aiding recovery and daily activities. Caregivers face significant burdens due to unmet care needs of their care recipients. This study examines the community needs of individuals who have experienced a stroke and their caregivers, while also exploring their awareness and use of existing services in Nueces County, Texas.
methodsThe study used concept mapping and interviews. Concept mapping, a mixed-method approach, collected qualitative input on perceived needs by a subsample of caregivers from the parent study. Participants then sorted and rated perceived needs. Using this information, multidimensional scaling and cluster analyses mapped relationships between perceived needs and determined their importance and priority. Interviews were completed with all caregivers in the parent study. Responses were analyzed for ethnic differences when possible.
resultsThe following 5 clusters were derived from the concept mapping (N=16), listed in order of highest ratings of importance: medical care needs, financial and legal resource needs, caregiver support needs, daily care needs, and housing and transportation needs. Interview findings (N=228) showed that both Mexican American (n=168) and non-Hispanic White (n=60) caregivers had low awareness and use rates for services like caregiver support and senior centers, with significant ethnic disparities in stroke information awareness that disappeared upon adjustment.
conclusionsBy understanding the needs of caregivers and individuals affected by stroke, we can better support caregivers in managing the condition and help them thrive in this role.
