Cognitive, Functional, and Emotional Recovery in Patients with Stroke: A Multidimensional Prospective Analysis.
Article in Neurology international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundStroke is a major cerebrovascular disease characterized by disrupted cerebral blood flow, leading to neuronal damage and significant physical, cognitive, and emotional sequelae. While advancements in acute stroke management have improved survival rates, long-term complications such as cognitive impairment and depression continue to hinder recovery. This study addresses these dimensions within the context of ischemic stroke.
aimThe aim of this study was to analyze the cognitive status, functionality, and depressive symptoms in patients with ischemic stroke, exploring interrelations between cognitive, functional, and emotional outcomes to prioritize clinical interventions.
designThis was an analytical, observational, cohort, and prospective study.
methodsThe study included 81 subjects diagnosed with ischemic stroke admitted to the Neurology Department of Lucus Augusti University Hospital. Data were collected at three time points-admission, discharge, and follow-up-using validated instruments such as the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, Mini-Mental State Examination, Barthel Index, and Beck Depression Inventory. Statistical analyses included Spearman's correlation, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney tests.
resultsPatients with greater cognitive impairment at admission showed poorer functional recovery and higher depressive symptoms during follow-up. Depressive symptoms remained minimal in most cases, but correlations with cognitive and functional deficits were significant. NIHSS scores at admission strongly predicted both functional and emotional recovery, reinforcing its value in early prognosis and therapeutic planning.
conclusionsThis study highlights the importance of integrating cognitive, functional, and emotional dimensions into stroke care protocols to optimize patient recovery and improve long-term outcomes.
