Mandarin Stroke Social Network Scale and Item Response Theory.
Article in Frontiers in stroke, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Stroke survivors may have difficulty in social integration due to physical or mental disorders across the entire continuum of disease. Higher perceived social support can promote social participation for persons following a stroke. However, no scale is available to investigate the perceived social support among the Chinese post-stroke population. Objectives: The current study addresses this gap by developing the Mandarin version of the Stroke Social Network Scale (M-SSNS) and examining the reliability and validity of this scale. This study also utilizes the Item Response Theory (IRT) model as a bridge between social ability and functional status. Methods: The convenience sampling method was followed to recruit 71 inpatient post-stroke individuals. All participants were evaluated by the modified Barthel Index (MBI), M-SSNS, and the Extended Results: A total of 71 patients with stroke (53 males and 18 females) were included in this research. Fourteen items of M-SSNS were selected to represent personal social ability according to the unidimensional 3-parameter logistic (3PL) IRT model. The Cronbach's α of the 14-item scale was 0.7192, with the Guttman's λ Conclusion: The 14-item M-SSNS manifests great reliability and acceptable validity. Based on the IRT, the 14-item M-SSNS is also a promising tool to assess the social structure and provide customized relationship consulting, education, and advice among the Chinese stroke population.
