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
Aim: To examine self-management behaviors and their key Determinants among young and middle-aged adults with ischemic stroke. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a convenience sample of 247 patients aged 18-59 years with ischemic stroke was recruited from a tertiary hospital in China between July 2023 and February 2025. Data were collected using a sociodemographic and clinical characteristics questionnaire, the Self-management Behavior Scale for Stroke, and the Barthel Index. Descriptive statistics and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed. Results: The mean self-management score was 85.05 (SD = 16.61), indicating a moderate level of self-management. Resource utilization was the lowest-scoring dimension. Gender, educational level, activities of daily living, exercise habits and smoking status were identified as significant independent factors associated with self-management behaviors (adjusted R Conclusion: Self-management behaviors among young and middle-aged adults with ischemic stroke were suboptimal, particularly with regard to the utilization of health resources. Sociodemographic and lifestyle factors play an important role in shaping self-management capacity in this population. Implications for the Profession and/or Patient Care: Routine assessment of self-management capacity could be considered for integration into post-stroke nursing care for working-age adults. Nursing interventions that are gender-responsive and adapted to health literacy levels should be further explored. Although not directly evaluated in this study, nurse-led digital and peer-support strategies may serve as potential avenues to support self-management and secondary stroke prevention.
