1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Visual neglect after left-hemispheric lesion is thought to be less frequent, less severe, and shorter lived than visuospatial attention deficits resulting from right-hemispheric lesions. However, reports exist opposing this assumption, and it is unclear how these findings fit into the current theories of visuospatial processing. Furthermore, only little is known about the exact structure-function relationship between visuospatial attention deficits and left-hemispheric stroke. We investigated neglect in 121 patients with acute left-hemispheric ischemic stroke by following clinical development from within the first 24 h of stroke onset until hospital discharge. Visuospatial attention deficits occurred in 17.4 % (n = 21). Voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping associated visual neglect to the right with lesion in the left superior and middle temporal gyrus, temporal pole, frontal operculum, and insula. Neglect severity, captured by the Center of Cancellation Score of the Bells test, was associated with lesion in the left anterior temporal lobe and the left frontal operculum. The left-hemispheric lesion pattern of neglect thus involves areas of the ventral attention system and partly mirrors the critical regions of the right hemisphere known to be associated with neglect. Based on our prospective analysis on a large cohort of patients with left-hemispheric stroke, this study shows that in a remarkable number of patients, the left hemisphere essentially contributes to an intact representation of space and clarifies the impact of the distinct left-hemispheric structures involved in visuospatial processing.
