Efficacy of cognitive behavior language therapy for aphasia following stroke: Implications for language education research.
Trial report in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
BACKGROUND/
objectiveEvidence from previous research has shown that the incidence of aphasia following a stroke is high in Nigeria and other countries, and there is a call for intervention programs. The objective of the current study was to investigate the efficacy of cognitive behavior language therapy (CBLT) on aphasia following a stroke.
methodsThe study was designed as a group randomized trial, which involved treatment and no-treatment control procedures. The participants of the study were 86 patients who had experienced aphasia following a stroke. The Porch Index of Communicative Ability (PICA) and Speech-Language Unhelpful Thoughts and Beliefs Scale (SLUTBS) were the measures used in the study. The repeated measures analysis of variance procedure, with Partial eta squared (Equation is included in full-text article.), adjusted R, mean, standard deviation, and upper/lower limit was followed in analyzing the data collected in the study.
resultsThe CBLT intervention significantly reduced aphasia following a stroke and significantly reduced speech-language and unhelpful thought and beliefs among aphasic stroke patients exposed to the treatment intervention when compared with the no-treatment control group.
conclusionBased on the findings of the study, language educators, speech and language pathologists and therapists in education institutions, hospitals, and rehabilitation centers should adopt the principles of CBLT used in the current study to help them improve communication ability among aphasia stroke patients.
