Psychological distress in stroke patients: latent class analysis and influencing factors.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 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
Background: Psychological distress is common in stroke patients and adversely affects rehabilitation and quality of life. However, the heterogeneity of this distress remains underexplored. Aim: This study aimed to explore the latent categories of psychological distress in patients with stroke and analyze its influencing factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenience sample of 417 patients with stroke in a tertiary hospital in Zunyi from July to November 2024. Socio-demographic information and psychological distress of participants were obtained using a general information questionnaire and the SCL-90 scale. Latent class analysis was used to analyze the latent categories of psychological distress in patients with stroke. In the multiple logistic regression analysis, the latent categories of psychological distress derived from latent class analysis were used as the dependent variable to identify factors influencing these categories. Results: Psychological distress in patients with stroke was classified into three groups: High Paranoid Ideation and Hostility group (Class 1, 17.99%), Generalized Psychological Distress group (Class 2, 25.18%), and Low Psychological Distress group (Class 3, 56.83%). Multiple logistic regression demonstrated that, compared with Class 3 (reference), health literacy was significantly associated with membership in Class 1 (OR = 1.019, 95% CI: 1.003-1.036) and Class 2 (OR = 1.057, 95% CI: 1.039-1.075), while interoceptive sensibility was significantly associated with membership in Class 1 (OR = 0.988, 95% CI: 0.980-0.997) and Class 2 (OR = 0.974, 95% CI: 0.965-0.983). Male patients and those with a stroke duration of less than one year were significantly more likely to belong to Class 2 (OR = 9.281, 95% CI: 4.347-19.815; OR = 23.594, 95% CI: 2.592-214.62). Conclusion: Among stroke patients, psychological distress manifests in three distinct profiles: the High Paranoid Ideation and Hostility group, the generalized psychological distress group, and the low psychological distress group. Tailored intervention measures are implemented based on the unique demographic characteristics of each group to enhance their mental health outcomes.
