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

objectivesto analyze the association between the therapeutic support received and the functional disability degree between two and three years after ischemic stroke, comparing functional disability level between 90 days and two to three years after the event.

methodsof the 242 survivors followed, 155 were alive after three years. Sociodemographic and clinical instruments, a telephone protocol, and the Modified Rankin Scale were used. Data were analyzed using chi-square, Fisher's exact, and McNemar tests (α=0.05).

results62.6% presented with asymptomatic/mild dysfunction, and 37.4% with moderate to severe dysfunction. Despite functional improvement, many maintained or worsened their disability (p=0.6219). Follow-up was limited: appointments with neurologists (56.6%), physiotherapists (45.8%), nurses (15%), and secondary prophylaxis (53.6%). Individuals with greater disability had more follow-up, with significant association for physiotherapy.

conclusionsthere were gaps in therapeutic support, despite the persistence or progression of disabilities. Multidisciplinary follow-up is essential to prevent worsening and promote recovery.
