1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Long-term cognitive outcomes after stroke and their impact on health-related quality of life remain understudied. This study examined associations between cognitive performance and the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life scale (SS-QOL) four years after stroke. Sixty-five individuals (mean age 64 years, 74% male) with mild-to-moderate strokes completed the SS-QOL, the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and a neuropsychological test battery. A previously established principal component analysis of the SS-QOL informed division into Cognitive-Social-Mental (CSM) and Physical-Health (PH) components. Most participants reported no or mild disability on the mRS. Relative to age-adjusted norms, the group performed slightly below average across several cognitive domains, with marked variability indicating a subgroup with pronounced deficits. PH scores were high, reflecting minimal physical disability, whereas CSM scores were lower, indicating persistent challenges. CSM scores were associated with reaction time (
