Post-stroke fatigue and its consequences in young adults: The Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study II.

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
Background: Fatigue is a prevalent and disabling consequence of ischemic stroke in young adults, yet its multifactorial nature and impact on recovery remain underexplored. This study investigates predictors of post-stroke fatigue and association with return to work (RTW) and other variables at a one-year follow-up (1y-FU) after ischemic stroke. Methods: We analysed data from 130 patients aged 15-49 years with MRI-confirmed acute ischemic stroke enrolled in the Norwegian Stroke in Young Study II. Fatigue and cognitive symptoms were assessed using standardized self-report and clinical evaluations at 1y-FU. Multivariable logistic regression identified independent predictors of persistent fatigue, adjusting for age, sex, and stroke severity. Results: At 1y-FU, 50 % of patients reported persistent fatigue. Fatigue was independently associated with failure to RTW (OR 3.2, 95 % CI 1.8-5.6), migraine without aura (OR 2.1, 95 % CI 1.3-3.4), hearing difficulties (OR 2.0, 95 % CI 1.1-3.8), concentration problems (OR 2.4, 95 % CI 1.5-4.0), and pain (OR 2.6, 95 % CI 1.5-4.5). Patients with resolved fatigue were significantly more likely to RTW (65.9 %) compared to those with persistent symptoms (34.2 %, Conclusions: Fatigue affects half of young ischemic stroke survivors after 1 year, substantially hindering RTW. Novel associations with migraine, hearing and cognitive deficits, and pain suggest underrecognized contributors that may be amenable to individually targeted rehabilitation. Integration of fatigue management into early stroke rehabilitation programs, with a focus on cognitive, sensory, and pain-related domains, may help optimize vocational and functional outcomes.
