Actigraphic Sensors Describe Stroke Severity in the Acute Phase: Implementing Multi-Parametric Monitoring in Stroke Unit.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Actigraphy is a tool used to describe limb motor activity. Some actigraphic parameters, namely Motor Activity (MA) and Asymmetry Index (AR), correlate with stroke severity. However, a long-lasting actigraphic monitoring was never performed previously. We hypothesized that MA and AR can describe different clinical conditions during the evolution of the acute phase of stroke. We conducted a multicenter study and enrolled 69 stroke patients. NIHSS was assessed every hour and upper limbs' motor activity was continuously recorded. We calculated MA and AR in the first hour after admission, after a significant clinical change (NIHSS ± 4) or at discharge. In a control group of 17 subjects, we calculated MA and AR normative values. We defined the best model to predict clinical status with multiple linear regression and identified actigraphic cut-off values to discriminate minor from major stroke (NIHSS ≥ 5) and NIHSS 5-9 from NIHSS ≥ 10. The AR cut-off value to discriminate between minor and major stroke (namely NIHSS ≥ 5) is 27% (sensitivity = 83%, specificity = 76% (AUC 0.86
