Central obesity and post-stroke depression: Implications for stroke recovery.
Article in World journal of psychiatry, 2025. 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
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a prevalent but often underdiagnosed complication affecting stroke survivors, with significant implications for recovery and quality of life. Emerging evidence suggests that central obesity, as measured by the weight-to-waist index (WWI), may play a crucial role in PSD risk and severity. Traditional obesity metrics, such as body mass index, may not accurately capture the impact of visceral fat distribution on neuropsychiatric outcomes. This letter highlights the growing recognition of WWI as a precise indicator of metabolic and inflammatory disturbances linked to post-stroke mental health. Integrating WWI into routine stroke rehabilitation assessments could facilitate early identification of high-risk patients and improve intervention strategies. Further research is needed to establish standardized WWI cutoff values and explore potential therapeutic targets for PSD prevention.
