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

Background and rationale International guidelines recommend treatment for post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), yet there are few evidence-based approaches to guide intervention, leaving clinicians uncertain about how to intervene. Little is known about healthcare professionals' approach to post-stroke cognitive rehabilitation. This survey provides the first data on how PSCI is recognized and managed in stroke units in India. Aim This survey aimed to understand whether and how healthcare professionals, including neurologists, physiotherapists (PTs), nurses, occupational therapists (OTs), and speech-language pathologists (SLPs), assess and treat patients with PSCI in India, and to explore barriers and facilitators that influence treatment delivery. Study method A multicenter online survey was conducted across 50 hospitals within the Indian Stroke Clinical Trial Network
