Study protocol of 'Prism Adaptation in Rehabilitation': a randomized controlled trial in stroke patients with neglect.
Trial report in BMC neurology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundA frequent disorder after stroke is neglect, resulting in a failure to report or respond to contralesional stimuli. Rehabilitation of neglect is important, given the negative influence on motor recovery, independence in self-care, transfers, and locomotion. Effects of prism adaptation (PA) to alleviate neglect have been reported. However, either small groups or no control group were included and few studies reported outcome measurements on the level of activities of daily living (ADL). The current ongoing RCT investigates the short- and long-term effects of PA in a large population in a realistic clinical setting. Measures range from the level of function to the level of ADL. METHODS/
designNeglect patients in the sub-acute phase after stroke are randomly assigned to PA (n = 35) or sham adaptation (SA; n = 35). Adaptation is performed for 10 consecutive weekdays. Patients are tested at start of the study, 1 and 2 weeks after starting, and 1, 2, 4 and 12 weeks after ending treatment. Primary objectives are changes in performance on neuropsychological tests and neglect in ADL. Secondary objectives are changes in simulated driving, eye movements, balance, visual scanning and mobility, subjective experience of neglect in ADL and independence during ADL. DISCUSSION: If effective, PA could be implemented as a treatment for neglect.
