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
Introduction: Female stroke survivors experience considerable vulnerabilities and existential concerns, shaped by sociocultural factors and gender roles, which heighten stroke morbidity and limit community reintegration. Yet, the existential concerns of female stroke survivors in Nigeria, and their relationships with psychological depression and community reintegration have not been explored. Methods: A mixed-methods study was conducted among female stroke survivors recruited from selected hospitals in South-west, Nigeria. Community integration questionnaire, Existential concerns questionnaire, and the depression subscale of the Hospital anxiety and depression scale were used to assess community reintegration, existential concerns, and psychological depression, respectively. Six purposively selected female stroke survivors participated in a focus group discussion (FGD). Quantitative data were analyzed using Chi-square test at Results: Seventy-five female stroke survivors aged 64.07 ± 14.03 years participated in the survey. The mean community reintegration, existential concerns and psychological depression scores were 12.24 ± 2.95, 9.77 ± 5.52, and 13.84 ± 4.71, respectively. The majority ( Conclusion: Existential concerns among participants were mostly related to social and family roles and were associated with poor emotional and mental wellbeing. Addressing these concerns through integrated care, delivered by a coordinated multidisciplinary team, could enhance emotional and mental wellbeing, and promote community reintegration among female stroke survivors.
