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

purposeTo define the role and scope of Stroke Support Organizations (SSOs) in the stroke care pathway and identify strategies to optimize their engagement across the continuum of care.

methodsA review following Cochrane protocols searched five databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PubMed, Cochrane) for 2017–2024 literature, supplemented by author expertise.

resultsSSOs function across the stroke care pathway, from emergency recognition training to long-term recovery support. SSOs bridge gaps between formal healthcare and community-based care, particularly when clinical rehabilitation services end. Promising integration models include healthcare-community partnerships, coordination frameworks, and service delivery adaptations. Barriers include funding, unclear role definitions, and limited referral pathways. Active collaboration between healthcare institutions and SSOs was a noted facilitator for success. SSOs offer continuity when formal services are limited. Neurologists can optimize patient outcomes by understanding SSO capabilities, establishing formal referral pathways, and integrating community-based support into care planning.
