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

Objective: To examine if personal factors, stroke severity, social determinants of health, and functional status are associated with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in individuals poststroke who have completed their inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) stay and have returned home. We hypothesized that functional status would explain a significant portion of variability in HRQOL after accounting for covariates, including personal factors, stroke severity, and metrics of social determinants of health. Design: This study was a secondary analysis of data from a prospective, longitudinal cohort study. Setting: The IRF to the community. Participants: Individuals (N=72) poststroke (mean age ± SD, 64.1±14.4y, 58.3% men) who returned home after completing rehabilitation in an IRF. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: The HRQOL in Stroke Patients-26 (HRQOLISP-26) was captured after individuals were discharged to the home setting. Results: Functional status explained an additional 40% of the variance in HRQOLISP-26 after controlling for personal factors, stroke severity, and metrics of social determinants of health ( Conclusions: We found that functional status, including mobility, cognition, and depression, is implicated in affecting HRQOL in individuals with subacute stroke who have completed their IRF stay and have returned home. Thus, underlying the importance of rehabilitation is the consideration of not only the progression of physical and cognitive function but also mood.
