Severity-graded supportive care need profiles in older adults during recovery after ischemic stroke: a latent profile analysis.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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: Supportive care needs may vary substantially among older adults during recovery after ischemic stroke and are relevant to the continuity of post-stroke rehabilitation and follow-up care. A person-centered approach may help characterize heterogeneity in need intensity and inform needs-based supportive care planning. However, evidence on supportive care need profiles and their associated factors in this population remains limited. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 388 older adults with ischemic stroke recruited from three tertiary hospitals in China. Supportive care needs were assessed using the Stroke Supportive Care Needs Scale. Latent profile analysis was performed using the mean scores of six supportive care need domains. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine factors cross-sectionally associated with latent profile membership. Results: Three severity-graded profiles were identified: the low supportive care needs group (Class 1, Conclusion: Older ischemic stroke survivors during recovery exhibited severity-graded heterogeneity in supportive care needs. Membership in the higher-need profiles was cross-sectionally associated with older age, poorer self-care ability, anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and lower educational attainment, while higher income was associated with lower odds of membership in the high-need profile. These findings provide descriptive evidence for needs-based assessment and the future development of tiered rehabilitation and follow-up support during stroke recovery. Further longitudinal and external validation is needed to examine the stability and potential application of these profiles in post-stroke care.
