The Prognosis and Recovery of Aphasia Related to Stroke Lesion.
Article in Annals of rehabilitation medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveTo investigate the effects of specific brain lesions on prognosis and recovery of post-stroke aphasia, and to assess the characteristic pattern of recovery.
methodsTotal of 15 subjects with first-ever, left hemisphere stroke, who were right handed, and who completed language assessment using the Korean version of the Western Aphasia Battery (K-WAB) at least twice during the subacute and chronic stages of stroke, were included. The brain lesions of the participants were evaluated using MRI-cron, SPM8, and Talairach Daemon software.
resultsSubtraction of the lesion overlap map of the participants who showed more than 30% improvement in the aphasia quotient (AQ) by the time of their chronic stage (n=9) from the lesion overlap map of those who did not show more than 30% improvement in the AQ (n=6) revealed a strong relationship with Broca's area, inferior prefrontal gyrus, premotor cortex, and a less strong relationship with Wernicke's area and superior and middle temporal gyri. The culprit lesion related to poor prognosis, after grouping the subjects according to their AQ score in the chronic stage (a cut score of 50), revealed a strong relationship with Broca's area, superior temporal gyrus, and a less strong relationship with Wernicke's area, prefrontal cortex, and inferior frontal gyrus.
conclusionBrain lesions in the Broca's area, inferior prefrontal gyrus, and premotor cortex may be related to slow recovery of aphasia in patients with left hemisphere stroke. Furthermore, involvement of Broca's area and superior temporal gyrus may be associated with poor prognosis of post-stroke aphasia.
