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: This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of pain catastrophizing and self-efficacy in the association between anxiety and depressive symptoms and kinesiophobia among stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between March 2023 and September 2024 in a tertiary hospital in Jiangsu Province, China. A total of 260 stroke patients with hemiplegia were enrolled and completed assessments including a demographic questionnaire, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Self-Efficacy for Exercise Scale (SEE). Multiple linear regression was performed to identify independent factors associated with kinesiophobia. Parallel mediation analysis was applied to examine whether psychoemotional factors mediated the relationship with kinesiophobia. Results: Multivariate linear regression revealed that age ( Conclusion: Kinesiophobia in stroke patients with hemiplegia was associated with pain catastrophizing, anxiety and depressive symptoms, self-efficacy, and fall history. The structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that negative emotions may increase kinesiophobia through greater pain catastrophizing and reduced self-efficacy. Thus, interventions aimed at building self-efficacy and mitigating pain catastrophizing may effectively decrease kinesiophobia and facilitate recovery.
