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
introductionEnhancing Quality of Life for Individuals with Stroke (EQL-stroke) is an international, collaborative multiphase project aiming to strengthen supported self-management for older adults recovering from stroke at home in Sweden, Latvia and the Netherlands. Existing poststroke pathways may provide insufficient support for self-management during the transition from hospital to home, and there is limited evidence on interventions that integrate social networks and everyday environmental context. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: EQL-stroke uses a participatory, multimethod design across three phases. Phase I generates knowledge through policy review, qualitative interviews and people-place mapping (~25 participants per country) and includes cross-cultural adaptation of the Collective Efficacy of Networks Scale. Phase II co-designs and specifies a tailored social network-informed supported self-management intervention (the Network-Based Intervention), including core components and principles for local adaptation (~15 participants per country). Phase III will recruit approximately 20-40 stroke survivors for a single-arm pilot feasibility study with an 8-week follow-up and embedded process evaluation to assess feasibility, acceptability and fidelity in routine practice. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval has been obtained from the Swedish Ethical Review Authority (reg. no. 2025-00083-01), the Rīgas Stradiņa Universitāte Research Ethical Committee (reg. no. Rīgas Stradiņa Universitāte Research Ethical Committee) and the Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Spatial Sciences, University of Groningen (reg. no. 2025-07). Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, stakeholder engagement activities and patient/public channels.
