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

objectiveSpatial neglect (SN) constitutes a substantial barrier to functional recovery after acquired brain injury. However, because of its multimodal nature, no single test can capture all the signs of SN. To provide a clinically feasible solution, we used conventional neuropsychological tests as well as the Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS) via the Kessler Foundation Neglect Assessment Process (KF-NAP). The goal was to add evidence that a global approach should detect better even subtle signs of SN.

methodFourteen individuals with lesions located in the right cerebral hemisphere participated in the study. Participants were assessed with a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tests, comprising a set of visuospatial tests to evaluate several spatial domains. In addition, patients underwent functional assessment with the Barthel Index, the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), and the CBS via KF-NAP.

resultsThe CBS via KF-NAP was associated with the visuospatial paper-based tests (p = .004) as well as the Motor FIM (p = .003), and was more sensitive than the Behavioral Inattention Test-Conventional in detecting SN (p = .014).

conclusionsWe showed that the CBS via KF-NAP was able: (a) to detect functional impairment, especially motor, related to SN; (b) to selectively measures spatial rather than nonspatial dysfunctions; and (c) to be highly sensitive in detecting SN signs especially in those patients with mild severity, covering several aspects of SN manifestations. The patient's SN diagnosis based on the CBS via KF-NAP is clinically important and directly relevant to care planning and goal setting. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved).
