Association between early depressive symptoms after stroke and trajectories of functional recovery among patients with acute ischemic stroke: a longitudinal study.
Article in Frontiers in neurology. 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
Background: Depressive symptoms are very common in the acute phase of stroke; however, its impact on distinct functional recovery trajectories in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients remains unclear. Our study aimed to depict the functional recovery trajectories within 6 months after stroke and explore the association of early depressive symptoms with these recovery patterns among AIS patients. Methods: A total of 219 eligible patients were enrolled at the stroke centers of two tertiary hospitals in Xuzhou, China from April 2023 to June 2024. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was used to assess depressive symptoms during the acute hospitalization. The Group-based trajectory model was conducted to identify distinct trajectories of functional recovery, as measured by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Barthel Index (BI) at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. A series of multinomial logistic regression models were performed to examine the relationship between early depressive symptoms and dynamic recovery patterns. Results: We identified 3 mRS trajectories (mild, moderate, and severe) and 5 BI trajectories (low-rapid rise, moderate low-stable, moderate-progressive rise, moderate high-rapid decline, and high-stable), respectively. After full adjustments, patients with early depressive symptoms were at increased likelihood of being in the moderate (OR 8.22, 95% CI 2.77-24.39) and severe (OR 24.41, 95% CI 5.33-111.90) trajectory group for mRS trajectories, and of the moderate high-rapid decline (OR 12.93, 95% CI 1.49-112.42) trajectory group for BI trajectories ( Conclusion: Early depressive symptoms were associated with unfavorable functional recovery trajectories within 6 months following acute stroke in AIS patients.
