Enhancing Societal Participation for Stroke Survivors With Cognitive Impairments: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report 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. It is linked to trial NCT03792061 (Adopting Strategy Training to Improve Participation Performance of Individuals With Cognitive Impairments After Stroke), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundReturning to societal participation is an important goal for stroke survivors, but evidence for effective rehabilitation remains inconclusive. This study evaluated the efficacy of participation-focused strategy training in improving poststroke participation among community-dwelling survivors with cognitive impairments.
methodsThis multicenter, randomized trial enrolled stroke survivors with executive function impairments between January 2019 and March 2023. Participants received either strategy training (n=96) or an attention-control intervention (n=99) in 12 to 15 sessions over 8 weeks. The primary outcome was the postintervention change in participation across productivity, social, and community domains from the baseline, measured by the Participation Measure-3 Domains, 4 Dimensions. Secondary outcomes included changes in activity performance, self-efficacy, and global cognition from baseline.
resultsEligible 195 participants were included in the intention-to-treat analysis (64 women, 32.8%; median [interquartile range] age: 62 [52-68] years). After adjusting for baseline primary outcome, stroke severity, and dose of regular rehabilitation, the strategy training group showed greater improvements in productivity and social participation compared with the control group (adjusted mean difference between groups [95% CI]: 7.89 [2.61-13.16] (
conclusionsParticipation-focused strategy training significantly improved productivity and social participation among enrolled stroke survivors compared with the control intervention postintervention. Further research is warranted to confirm these findings in the oldest survivors and to explore approaches for enhancing the long-term benefits of strategy training.
