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 often face challenges with basic activities of daily living (ADLs), which can compromise their health by making it difficult to perform everyday tasks independently. These limitations frequently lead to sedentariness, increased morbidity, and mortality. Although the prevalence of post-stroke limitations in basic ADLs varies significantly among studies, there is a general lack of data, particularly from Ethiopia. This lack of research hinders a comprehensive understanding of the extent of ADL limitations among stroke survivors in the region and their associated health outcomes. Aims: To assess the extent of post-stroke limitation in basic ADL and identify associated factors among stroke survivors. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 1 to June 30, 2022. We selected 400 participants using systematic random sampling. The Barthel Index was used to assess limitations on ADL post-stroke participants. We checked for multicollinearity and model fitness. Variables with a Results: The overall prevalence of post-stroke limitations in basic ADL was 58.25%. Significant associations were found with symptoms of depression (odds ratio [OR] = 1.69, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.88-2.49; Conclusion: The study highlights the high prevalence of limitations in basic ADL following a stroke, with significant associations found with factors such as stroke in the right hemisphere, lack of early physiotherapy, use of mobility aids, and depressive symptoms. These findings emphasize the need for early rehabilitation interventions, particularly physiotherapy, and addressing mental health to improve recovery outcomes. Healthcare providers should focus on individualized care plans that include physical and psychological support to better manage post-stroke limitations and enhance the quality of life for stroke survivors.
