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

purpose of reviewWe examined recent literature on sex differences in patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) after stroke and explored potential solutions to reduce these sex differences RECENT

findingsRecent studies confirm that women generally have worse health related quality of life (HRQoL) and greater participation restriction after stroke than men. These differences are mostly due to age, stroke severity and risk factors at the time of stroke, but also social factors like living alone and access to evidence-based care. Sex specific concepts of health, influenced by a range of social and psychological factors, may affect responses to PROMs. Some commonly used PROMs have measurement invariance by sex, which could influence the sex differences we see in outcomes after stroke. Potential solutions to address sex differences in outcomes after stroke include improving study design; increasing health professional awareness; improving the overall health of women and men in the population; and quality improvement programs to ensure women receive evidence-based stroke care.
