Synergistic effects of family members as caregivers after acute hemorrhagic stroke in Jeju: a preliminary cohort study in Jeju, Korea.
Article in BMC neurology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveAll patients with hemorrhagic stroke aspire to recover to their pre-stroke condition. Their initial condition is often poor, but neurological status gradually improves in the absence of postictal complications. After neurosurgical treatment, patients are transferred to a rehabilitation department or an appropriate care facility for active rehabilitation. Subsequently, patients are monitored in the neurosurgical outpatient clinic at the appropriate time, together with their caregivers. During this process, attention was drawn to changes in the modified Rankin Score (mRS) of hemorrhagic stroke patients, and this study focuses on identifying the factors influencing mRS, with a particular emphasis on the role of the caregiver.
methodsData from hemorrhagic stroke patients treated between January 2020 and November 2021 were analyzed. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was assessed at 1 year after stroke onset. Patients whose mRS score improved by 1 point were classified into the “better” group. Patients who transitioned from an mRS score of 4–5 to a score of 0–3, or those with an improvement of 2 or more points in any mRS range, were classified into the “best” group. Various factors influencing these outcomes were investigated, with a particular focus on analyzing the results based on the family member providing caregiving.
resultsA total of 37 patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) participated in the study. The “better” outcomes were observed in 8 patients, while the “best” outcomes were seen in 16 patients. Most patients who showed improved outcomes received support from family members such as spouses, siblings, or daughters. Notably, when the caregiver role was taken by a daughter, non-independent patients were more likely to regain independence, with mRS scores improving from 4 to 3 or higher or achieving a remarkable improvement of 2 or more points in mRS, leading to the best outcomes.
conclusionsFunctional recovery is promoted not only by the patients’ own efforts but also through sustained support from their families. Early and intensive rehabilitation constitutes a cornerstone of favorable outcomes, with family involvement emerging as a decisive factor.
