Dyadic capability in post-stroke transitional care: a study protocol for instrument development and longitudinal evaluation.
Article in Frontiers in health services, 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
Introduction: Stroke represents a major burden for both survivors and caregivers. Although caregiver preparedness has been widely studied, it is typically assessed through self-reported measures that capture subjective perceptions rather than real-life adaptive functioning. Conventional training approaches, focused on knowledge and technical skills, often fail to support sustainable long-term care. The concept of capability may offer a more comprehensive framework for evaluating caregiving; however, it remains insufficiently operationalized and empirically validated in stroke populations. Aims: To develop, operationalize, and empirically evaluate dyadic capability in stroke survivor-caregiver dyads. Methods: Building on a completed and separately published systematic review and integrated concept analysis, this mixed-methods longitudinal study protocol comprises four linked empirical phases: qualitative exploration, instrument development and validation, longitudinal observational evaluation, and intervention evaluation. The protocol has been prospectively registered on the Open Science Framework (OSF): https://osf.io/sjdzp. Qualitative data will be analysed using conventional content analysis and integrated through triangulation. Psychometric evaluation will include Delphi consensus procedures and factor analyses. Quantitative data will be collected at five timepoints (pre-intervention baseline and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months) and analysed using linear mixed-effects and dyadic (Actor-Partner Interdependence) models. Expected results: The Dyadic Capability Scale is expected to support the assessment of dyadic capability and the empirical refinement of the proposed conceptual framework for adaptive post-stroke care. Conclusions: This protocol proposes a theoretically grounded and clinically applicable conceptual framework for assessing dyadic capability in post-stroke care.
