Effect of armodafinil on cognition in patients with HIV/AIDS and fatigue.
Trial report in Journal of clinical and experimental neuropsychology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Fatigue and cognitive impairment are common in HIV+ adults and may occur independently or be causally linked. This study examined whether alleviation of fatigue with armodafinil in a placebo-controlled double-blind 4-week trial had an effect on cognitive function among those with and without mild neuropsychological impairment at baseline. Sixty-one patients completed a standard battery of neuropsychological tests at study entry and Week 4: A total of 33 were randomized to armodafinil and 28 to placebo. While there was a significant effect of active medication on fatigue, cognitive performance measured by a global change score did not differ between treatment groups, or in those on active treatment with or without mild neuropsychological impairment.
