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
Objective: To evaluate the 1-year long-term functional improvements and sustainability of a comprehensive stroke recovery program (SRP) administered early in the subacute phase of recovery compared with stroke survivors who received usual care. Design: A prospective matched cohort study. Setting: Academic medical center with inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation facilities. Participants: A total of 236 patients (N=236) with stroke admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation facility were included in this study. Of these, 152 participated in the SRP, and 84 patients received usual care therapies. Interventions: Outpatient rehabilitation program including 36 sessions of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and risk factor education administered in addition to usual care therapies. Main Outcome Measures: Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) scores for Basic Mobility (BM), Daily Activity (DA), and Applied Cognitive (AC) were collected at admission and discharge from the hospital, at 30, 60, 90, 120 days after stroke, and 6-month and 12-month long-term follow-ups. Results: The mixed effects linear regression model revealed a significant interaction effect between the intervention and time across all 3 functional domains ( Conclusions: An early outpatient comprehensive stroke rehabilitation program, including aerobic exercise and stroke risk factor education within the first 6 months of stroke, not only demonstrated functional improvements after the program but was able to achieve sustained functional improvements in mobility, self-care, and cognitive ability at 1 year. Improving the long-term function of stroke survivors promotes functional independence.
