Cognitive rehabilitation for spatial neglect following stroke.
Synthesis in The Cochrane database of systematic reviews, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundUnilateral spatial neglect is a failure to attend to one side of space. Various strategies have been used to treat these problems but evidence of their benefit has been lacking.
objectivesTo determine the effects of cognitive rehabilitation for spatial neglect following stroke as measured on impairment and disability level assessments, and destination on discharge from hospital. To determine whether any effects persist at follow-up assessment. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Stroke Group Trials Register (last searched February 2001), MEDLINE (1966-December 2000), EMBASE (1980-February 2001), CINAHL (1983-January 2001), PSYCLIT and CLINPSYCH (1974-February 2001). We handsearched relevant journals, screened reference lists from relevant articles and tracked citations using SCISEARCH. SELECTION CRITERIA: Controlled trials of cognitive rehabilitation for spatial neglect in stroke. Studies with mixed patient groups were excluded unless more than 75% of their sample were stroke patients or separate stroke data were available for stroke patients. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two reviewers independently selected trials, extracted data, and assessed trial quality. MAIN
resultsWe included 15 studies with 400 participants. A large number of different outcome measures were reported. Only six studies included a measure of disability and only four (111 participants) investigated persisting effects on any outcome. There was evidence that cognitive rehabilitation resulted in significant and persisting improvements in performance on impairment level assessments, although this varied depending on the test used. There was insufficient evidence to confirm or exclude an effect of cognitive rehabilitation at the level of disability or on destination following discharge from hospital. REVIEWER'S
conclusionsThere is some evidence that cognitive rehabilitation for spatial neglect improves performance on some impairment level tests but its effect on disability is unclear. Further well-designed RCTs are warranted as well as basic research to develop valid outcome measures.
