Stroke Caregiver Education and Training in an Inpatient Sub-Acute Setting: A Retrospective Clinical Audit.
Article in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 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
Caregiver burden is a significant issue post-stroke. Caregivers demonstrate unmet needs throughout the rehabilitation phase, with limited literature that delves into the details of caregiver education and training (CGET) provision prior to discharge.
objectivesTo identify current practice of multidisciplinary team documentation of CGET following stroke on an inpatient subacute neurosciences ward.
methodsA retrospective clinical audit was conducted on 109 stroke admissions on an inpatient subacute neurosciences ward. Documented demographic information, admission and discharge Functional Independence Measure scores, and CGET from the multidisciplinary team were collected using a purpose-built audit tool. Descriptive analysis and sub-group comparison explored the findings against the Stroke Guideline recommendations.
resultsData from 109 records were included, which identified 1398 episodes of CGET. Social work (SW) (79.9%) and occupational therapy (OT) (77.1%) documented CGET more consistently than other disciplines. CGET was significantly more likely to be documented for patients with cognitive impairment, yet only three of 28 (10.7%) individuals with memory impairment had documented CGET relating to memory strategies. Nursing staff documented minimal CGET across all domains, including management of continence.
conclusionsInconsistent CGET was documented for stroke recovery relating to activities of daily living, mobility and cognition. Variable documentation practices highlighted challenges with interpretation. Further research is needed to determine whether functional limitations of patients are being matched with the appropriate CGET. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: multidisciplinary team caregiver education and training provision and documentation needs to be consistent, particularly relating to cognition, continence, mobility and activities of daily living.
