1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeStroke survivors experience physical, emotional, and cognitive-communication impairments, requiring rehabilitation services across multiple care settings. Transitional care interventions (TCIs) are actions to ensure care coordination. This scoping review aimed to describe the intervention components and outcomes of TCIs in stroke rehabilitation. MATERIALS AND

methodsA scoping review was conducted using 5 databases (PubMed, CINAHL, OVID MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Rehabilitation & Sports Medicine) for the years 2012-2026. After removing duplicates, 4,663 abstracts were screened, and the full text of articles was reviewed. Intervention characteristics, components, and outcomes were extracted from the full-text articles. Descriptive, numeric and narrative summaries were prepared; intervention components and outcomes were categorized.

resultsThe review included 49 articles, representing 31 TCIs with 23 different intervention components. Interventions predominantly employed individual-level components (education, self-management). System-level components (care coordination) were used less frequently. Clinical outcomes are predominantly focused on physical function. Cognitive-communication outcomes were evaluated less frequently; persons with aphasia and cognitive impairments were often excluded from studies. Implementation outcomes were assessed for 20 TCIs.

conclusionAlignment of individual- and system-level intervention components with intended outcomes is necessary to advance TCI research. Further work is needed to tailor TCIs to the needs of persons with cognitive-communication disabilities.
