Rehabilitation utilisation up to 24 months after stroke: a register-based cohort study in southern Sweden.
Article in European stroke journal, 2026. 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
introductionKnowledge about the quantity, delivery and setting of rehabilitation after stroke in clinical practice is sparse. We investigated the utilisation of rehabilitation services in a regional cohort up to 2 years after stroke. PATIENTS AND
methodsData on people living in ordinary housing in southern Sweden with a first-ever stroke during 2016-2017 were collected from the Swedish Stroke Registry and linked to healthcare data from regional and private primary care settings, inpatient and outpatient hospital care and general population registries up to 24 months after stroke onset. Rehabilitation consultations after discharge were analysed using descriptive statistics, categorised by setting and delivery and stratified by age, living situation and sex.
resultsA total of 3034 people were included, who received more than 41,000 rehabilitation consultations over 24 months. During the first 3 months 42% received rehabilitation, as did 42% during months 4-12 and 32% during months 13-24. People under 65 years received rehabilitation more often than people aged 65-74, 75-84 or older than 84 years (57%, 44%, 36% and 19%, respectively) during the initial 3 months. These differences persisted at 4-12 and 13-24 months. Over 24 months, 40% of the consultations were delivered in primary care, 28% in specialised outpatient hospital care and 32% in specialised inpatient hospital care. Furthermore, 55%, 38% and 7% of all consultations were delivered by multi-professional teams, physiotherapists and occupational therapists. DISCUSSION: Less than half of the participants after stroke utilised rehabilitation during the 2 years and the intensity, setting and delivery varied over time. Further studies are warranted to evaluate if the amount of rehabilitation matches individual needs after stroke.
