*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the mean control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
CI: confidence interval; RR: risk ratio; SMD: standardised mean difference

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: we are very uncertain about the estimate.

aNeurological deficit from only one trial of 30 people so we have downgraded for imprecision (GRADE 2013).

bDeath downgraded for imprecision.

cSeizures downgraded for imprecision.

Note that because we included only the low risk of bias studies in our review, none of the evidence was downgraded because of study quality.

A range of different outcome scales were used for disability (including Barthel Index and daily activities subscale of the Stroke Impact Scale), and depression (including emotional role function of the Stroke Impact Scale).
