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

objectiveTo evaluate the implementation and feasibility of the Neuropsychological Digital Care Pathway (NP-DCP), a novel, professional-guided web-based rehabilitation programme for the rehabilitation of cognitive and emotional symptoms following stroke and to identify factors associated with adherence and user experience.

designRetrospective registry study. SUBJECTS: 133 stroke patients (≥ 18 years) with mild to moderate cognitive impairment at the Neurocenter, Helsinki University Hospital, Finland, referred to the NP-DCP between April 2019 and April 2020.

methodsThe NP-DCP adherence data (completers, dropouts, non-starters) and feedback from programme completers were analysed along with demographic and clinical characteristics.

resultsOf the referred patients, 114 (86%) started the programme; of these, 79 (68%) completed it. The average completion time was 82.3 days. Referral on discharge from acute care was associated with higher adherence (p = 0.019). Women were more likely to start the programme than men (p = 0.012). Usability and content were rated good to excellent (mean 4.1-4.4/5), with participants with basic education more satisfied than those with higher education (p = 0.033).

conclusionThe NP-DCP demonstrated high engagement and user satisfaction, suggesting it is a feasible tool for stroke rehabilitation, thus adding a promising new method to existing services. Early referral may improve adherence.
