A Systematic Research Review Assessing the Effectiveness of Pursuit Interventions in Spatial Neglect Following Stroke.
Synthesis in Translational stroke research, 2015. 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
Rehabilitation after stroke is imperative for patients with spatial neglect as it can help improve behavioural, social and cognitive outcomes in these patients, and therefore reduce the financial burden on public health services. The main aim of this review is to investigate the effectiveness of active pursuit eye movements for rehabilitation interventions in patients with spatial neglect following stroke. Potential papers for inclusion were gathered by searching key terms in four main databases (AMED, Global Health, PubMed/Medline and PsychInfo) in addition to screening relevant reference lists. Two reviewers independently selected papers for inclusion based on agreed inclusion criteria (n = 9 with 147 participants). Risk of bias was assessed using the QUADAS-2 tool. All papers reported a statistically significant result in patients who received an intervention which used pursuit eye movements, and this was reported both as a short-term (immediate) effect and as a sustained effect up to 8 weeks after treatment. These effects were also reported in comparison with interventions using saccadic eye movements. One study also reported increased neural activity in a number of brain regions following pursuit-based intervention. Overall, there is good evidence in support of pursuit intervention used in the rehabilitation of stroke and spatial neglect over and above traditional interventions based on saccadic eye movements. Future research should aim to increase sample sizes, provide information on statistical power, record accurate eye movement responses and use randomised designs to reduce selection bias.
