Exploring key stakeholder perceptions on the impact of younger stroke: a multinational, qualitative interview study.
Article in BMJ open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesTo explore the impact of stroke on young survivors.
designQualitative study design using semistructured interviews that underwent thematic analysis.
settingParticipants were recruited globally, with the majority of data collection occurring in the UK. All participant interviews were conducted online.
participantsThis study is the first to explore the poststroke impact of young stroke survivors across three key stakeholder groups: young stroke survivors (n=22), young stroke caregivers (n=5) and stroke healthcare professionals (n=9).
resultsFollowing 36 participant interviews, four primary themes emerged: (1) relationships and psychosocial considerations; (2) disrupted occupations and financial worries; (3) out of sight, out of mind and (4) acknowledgement of current healthcare practices and their efficacy. These results extend the findings from existing young stroke literature while providing multiple perspectives confirming that the impact is far-reaching, affecting caregivers, family and wider social circles.
conclusionsParticipants reported a range of poststroke impacts specific to a younger cohort. These should be considered when developing and engaging in service provision for young stroke survivors to ensure an inclusive, person-led approach that goes beyond 'one-size-fits-all'.
