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

backgroundAttention problems occur following stroke and are treated using computerised activities or paper and pencil tasks.

objectivesTo determine the effects of cognitive rehabilitation for attention deficits following stroke. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Stroke Group Trials Register, Medline, EMBASE, CINHAL and CLIN PSYCH databases and reference lists from relevant articles. Date of most recent searches: December 1998 SELECTION CRITERIA: Controlled trials of attention training in stroke. Studies with mixed aetiology groups were excluded unless they included more than 75% of stroke patients or separate data were available for the stroke patients. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two reviewers extracted trial data and assessed trial quality. Reviewers contacted investigators for further details of trials. MAIN

resultsTwo trials were identified with 56 participants. The two trials showed a benefit of training on measures of alertness and sustained attention. Only one trial included a measure of functional independence and this showed no significant effect of training. REVIEWER'S

conclusionsThere is some indication that training improves alertness and sustained attention but no evidence to support or refute the use of cognitive rehabilitation for attention deficits to improve functional independence following stroke.
