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
Objectives: This study aims to explore the causal relationship between nutritional status, life-space mobility (LSM), and cognitive function in community-dwelling older stroke patients, investigate the longitudinal mediating role of life-space mobility in the relationship between nutritional status and post-stroke cognitive function. Methods: A total of 284d ischemic stroke patients aged ≥60 years were recruited from the neurology inpatient department of a tertiary hospital, with follow-up assessments conducted at 3-, 6-, and 9- months post-stroke. Mini Nutrition Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) were used to assess nutritional status, the Life Space Assessment (LSA-C) was used to measure life-space mobility and the global cognitive function was assessed with the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Linear mixed-effects model and cross-lag-panel model was applied to examine the longitudinal relations among the variables. Results: LMM analysis revealed a significant total effect of nutritional status on post-stroke cognitive function (Estimate = 0.026, 95%CI [0.022, 0.030], Conclusion: In the chronic rehabilitation phase of older stroke patients, malnutrition can indirectly influence the development or exacerbation of post-stroke cognitive impairment via limited life-space mobility. This underscores the importance for early malnutrition identification and intervention and life-space mobility improvement to enhance long-term cognitive function in post-stroke care.
