Motor reaction time and accuracy in patients with multiple sclerosis: effects of an active computerized training program.

The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In this study, we aimed to determine the difference of motor reaction time and accuracy between the patients with moderate multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy subjects and to determine whether a specified cognitive-motor training can improve the speed and accuracy of information processing in patients with MS. A total of 205 patients (30% males) and 276 age-/gender-matched healthy subjects (31% males) were included in the study. Furthermore, using a stratified randomization method, patients with MS were randomly assigned to one of two groups: active information processing training (AIPT) (n = 49) or post-control (n = 55). The AIPT group was asked to complete a computerized visual-manual training program and the post-control group asked to complete the same task without an increase in difficulty. Before and after the intervention phase, the simple, choice, and semantic reaction times and accuracies of all participants were evaluated using the VLS measurement battery. Our results demonstrated that the case and control group were significantly different in terms of the simple, choice, and semantic motor reaction times and accuracies. Compared with the pre-intervention phase, the AIPT and control group's performances in the post-intervention phase were considerably improved in simple, choice, and semantic motor reaction times and choice and semantic motor reaction accuracies. The results also showed that the AIPT group performed significantly better than the post-control group in terms of simple and choice motor reaction times. We showed the positive effects of training on the performance of patients with MS in motor reaction time and accuracy.
