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

objectiveThe National Institutes of Health Toolbox Cognition Battery (NIHTB-CB) measures reading, vocabulary, episodic memory, working memory, executive functioning, and processing speed. While previous research has validated the factor structure in healthy adults, the factor structure has not been examined in adults with neurological impairments. Thus, this study evaluated the NIHTB-CB factor structure in individuals with acquired brain injury.

methodA sample of 392 individuals (ages 18-84) with acquired brain injury (n = 182 TBI, n = 210 stroke) completed the NIHTB-CB along with neuropsychological tests as part of a larger, multisite research project.

resultsConfirmatory factor analyses supported a 5-factor solution that included reading, vocabulary, episodic memory, working memory, and processing speed/executive functioning. This structure generally held in TBI and stroke subsamples as well as in subsamples of those with severe TBI and stroke injuries.

conclusionsThe factor structure of the NIHTB-CB is similar in adults with acquired brain injury to adults from the general population. We discuss the implications of these findings for clinical practice and clinical research. (PsycINFO Database Record
