Relationship between cognition and functional outcomes after dysvascular lower extremity amputation: a prospective study.
Article in American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to examine associations between a cognitive screen and four neuropsychologic tests administered at both 6 wks and 4 mos after amputation and five functional outcomes measured 12 mos after lower extremity amputation.
designThis study includes a prospective cohort from four medical centers. Participants were primarily male Veterans experiencing their first lower extremity amputation as a result of complications of diabetes mellitus or peripheral arterial disease. Of those eligible, 87 (64%) enrolled; 75 (86%) were retained at 12 mos. Measures included demographic/health information, four neuropsychologic measures, the Locomotor Capability Index-5, the Gronigen Activity Restriction Scale, prosthetic use, community participation, and social integration.
resultsBetter performance on the Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire at 4 mos was associated with greater 12-mo mobility and social integration. Better attention and working memory abilities 6 wks after amputation were associated with increased 12-mo prosthetic wear; and at 4 mos after amputation, with greater 12-mo mobility. Better verbal memory at 6 wks was associated with greater 12-mo social integration and community participation as well as increased prosthetic wear.
conclusionsThese findings highlight the potential value in including a brief, formal cognitive assessment in addition to a general mental status screen. Specific domains of cognitive function are differentially associated with functional outcomes and may inform amputation rehabilitation decisions.
