Kinesiophobia in stroke patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study based on latent profile analysis.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 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: Exercise rehabilitation plays a critical role in promoting functional recovery after stroke. However, stroke patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) face additional challenges, including motor impairments, vascular lesions, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy, which may increase their susceptibility to kinesiophobia. Despite this, studies using latent profile analysis (LPA) to characterize kinesiophobia in this patient population remain limited. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and latent subtypes of kinesiophobia among stroke patients with T2DM and to identify factors associated with each subtype. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 300 stroke patients with T2DM who were hospitalized in the Department of Neurology at a Grade 3 Class A hospital in Lianyungang City between August and December 2025. The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia was used as the primary assessment tool, and LPA was performed to identify distinct kinesiophobia subtypes. Univariate analysis and multinomial logistic regression were conducted to examine associations between kinesiophobia subtypes and sociodemographic, clinical, and psychosocial characteristics. Results: Three latent profiles of kinesiophobia were identified: a low-kinesiophobia group ( Conclusion: Developing targeted interventions based on the subtype-specific features of kinesiophobia may help alleviate patients' symptoms and promote their active participation in rehabilitation training. This is because three latent profiles of kinesiophobia were identified in stroke patients complicated with T2DM. In addition, the latent profiles exhibited differences in sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.
