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

In a nationwide randomized controlled trial, white matter microstructure was assessed before and immediately after Cogmed Working-Memory Training (CWMT) in school-age neonatal critical illness survivors. Eligible participants were survivors (8-12 years) with an IQ ≥ 80 and a z-score of ≤ -1.5 on (working)memory test at first assessment. Diffusion Tensor Imaging was used to assess white matter microstructure. Associations between any training-induced changes and improved neuropsychological outcome immediately and one year post-CWMT were evaluated as well. The trial was conducted between October 2014-June 2017 at Erasmus MC-Sophia, Rotterdam, Netherlands. Researchers involved were blinded to group allocation. Participants were randomized to CWMT(n = 14) or no-intervention(n = 20). All children completed the CWMT. Global fractional anisotropy(FA) increased significantly post-CWMT compared to no-intervention(estimated-coefficient = .007, p = .015). Increased FA(estimated coefficient = .009, p = .033) and decreased mean diffusivity(estimated-coefficient = -.010, p = .018) were found in the left superior longitudinal fasciculus(SFL) post-CWMT compared no-intervention. Children after CWMT who improved with >1SD on verbal working-memory had significantly higher FA in the left SLF post-CWMT(n = 6; improvement = .408 ± .01) than children without this improvement post-CWMT(n = 6; no-improvement = .384 ± .02), F(1,12) = 6.22, p = .041, η
