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
backgroundStigma adversely affects the rehabilitation among stroke inpatients, which decreases the motivation and functional improvement. According to prior studies, there was a correlation between social alienation and stigma. This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing stigma among stroke inpatients, providing evidence for future targeted stigma interventions.
methodsThe study was a cross-sectional survey conducted in China from July to November 2023 using a convenience sampling method. Ethical approval for this study was obtained from the Medical Ethics Committee. A total of 220 stroke inpatients completed a demographic questionnaire, the generalized social alienation scale, and the stroke stigma scale. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the impact of the diverse factors on stigma.
resultsThe results showed that the score of stigma among stroke inpatients was 47.36 ± 4.28, indicating a moderate level of stigma. Social alienation was positively correlated with stigma(r = 0.366, P < 0.001), indicating stigma increased with the increase of social alienation. Age(B=-2.105, P < 0.001), level of education[Junior high school(B = 1.545, P = 0.040), senior high school or technical secondary school(B = 3.480, P < 0.001), undergraduate or junior college(B = 3.716, P < 0.001), and graduate(B = 5.483, P < 0.001)], and social alienation(B = 0.158, P < 0.001) were all significantly associated with stigma in stroke inpatients. Among all educational levels, graduate(B = 5.483, P < 0.001) showed the most robust correlation with stigma. The results indicated that stroke inpatients who were younger and had higher levels of education had higher levels of stigma.
conclusionsFindings suggest that social alienation is a significant contributor to perceived stigma among stroke inpatients, particularly among younger and more educated individuals. Tailored psychosocial interventions that address feelings of social alienation may help reduce stigma in these groups.
