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

Background: Stroke is increasing in low- and middle-income countries. Stroke unit care, including evidence-based practice such as swallowing and hydration protocols, is associated with reduced disability and mortality. Objectives: The aim of this study is to codesign a swallowing and hydration care bundle for nurses to use with acute stroke patients, and to implement and evaluate the bundle on three acute stroke units across India. Methods: A multicentre, preimplementation and postimplementation feasibility study was conducted. We codesigned a care bundle (with stakeholders) which included the Global Evaluation of Swallowing and hydration screening and related actions/management. Implementation used clinical champions, education and training, barrier and enabler identification and site support. Participants included consecutively admitted patients, aged ≥ 18 years, with a clinical diagnosis of acute stroke and a persistent neurological deficit on presentation, who were admitted to a study site within 2 weeks of stroke onset. Results: Fifty-three healthcare staff completed the care bundle training. We recruited 183 participants, preimplementation group ( Conclusion: Care bundle implementation was feasible and improved swallowing and hydration management in three sites in India.
