The relationship between post-stroke fatigue and trunk impairment in the subacute phase: a cross-sectional study.

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
[Purpose] This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the severity of post-stroke fatigue and trunk impairment, and to identify the associations between specific fatigue characteristics and trunk function. [Participants and Methods] This study included 20 patients with hemiplegia following a first-time stroke who were admitted to a convalescent rehabilitation ward. Fatigue was measured using the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory, and trunk function was assessed using the Trunk Impairment Scale. Correlation analysis was conducted between the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory and Trunk Impairment Scale scores. Regression analysis was performed with fatigue characteristics as dependent variables and trunk functions as independent variables. [Results] The prevalence of post-stroke fatigue was 40% (8 patients) at admission. The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory scores showed a significant negative correlation with Trunk Impairment Scale scores. Regression analyses of the subscales indicated that static sitting balance was significantly associated with reduced activity; dynamic sitting balance was associated with physical fatigue and reduced activity; and coordination was associated with general, physical, and mental fatigue. [Conclusion] Post-stroke fatigue was significantly correlated with trunk impairment, and fatigue characteristics were associated with specific trunk functions. These findings suggest that assessing trunk function may help manage post-stroke fatigue in the subacute phase.
