A comparison of compensatory and restorative cognitive interventions in early psychosis.

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
This randomized trial examined the relative effectiveness of primarily compensatory and primarily restorative cognitive interventions in an early psychosis population. A total of 56 patients were randomized to one of two treatments which were applied for four months with a five month follow up assessment. Comparisons were between (1) Cognitive Adaptation Training (CAT) - a treatment that uses environmental supports and weekly home visits to compensate for cognitive challenges and improve community functioning and (2) Action Based Cognitive Remediation (ABCR) - a treatment involving computerized cognitive drill and practice exercises, simulations, goal setting, and behavioral activation. Linear mixed effects models demonstrated significant effects on community functioning for both CAT and ABCR without a difference between conditions (n = 39), with an indication of greater gains at follow up in the ABCR group (n = 31). Improvements in symptomatology were less robust with mixed findings across neurocognition metrics. This study concluded that both CAT and ABCR hold promise as interventions for early intervention psychosis populations but more work is needed to identify illness severity, subtype and contextual considerations that might indicate an emphasis on more compensatory versus more restorative cognitive interventions.
