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

purpose of reviewRehabilitation in LMICs is more important than in HICs due to the lack of access to acute stroke interventions (thrombolysis, endovascular thrombectomy, and stroke unit care) in most treated patients which leads to worse long-term outcomes, and thereby greater disability and functional impairment, therefore requiring specialized rehabilitation. RECENT

findingsThe are barriers to rehabilitation in LMICs. These can be considered under healthcare- and patient-related factors. Healthcare factors include limited skilled rehabilitation specialists, negligible stroke unit care, lack of government policies, insurance for rehabilitation and adequate infrastructure for rehabilitation. Patient-related factors include lack of awareness about the benefits of rehabilitation, financial constraints and belief in alternate systems of care. The barriers to rehabilitation in LMICs can be overcome with LMIC specific solutions like community-based rehabilitation, task shifting, stroke unit care, telerehabilitation, offering integrated models of care and increased recruitment and training of rehabilitation professionals.
