A Meta-Analysis of Neuropsychological Predictors of Outcome Following Stroke and Other Non-Traumatic Acquired Brain Injuries in Adults.
Synthesis in Neuropsychology review, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
A number of cognitive abilities have been reported to predict outcome following a non-traumatic acquired brain injury (ABI) in adults. However, the results are inconsistent. Furthermore, the unique and combined capacity of these cognitive abilities to predict ABI outcome has not been evaluated. Consequently, we employed meta-analysis and multiple regression to evaluate the capacity of various neuropsychological domains to predict two separate outcome variables in adults: (1) activities of daily living; and (2) quality of life. Based on the activities of daily living meta-analysis (N = 2384), we estimated the following significant bivariate effects: memory (r = .31, 95% CI: .20/.41]), language (r = .33, 95% CI:.26/.40), attention (r = .38, 95% CI: .30/.46]), executive functions (r = .29, 95% CI: .19/.39]), and visuospatial abilities (r = .41, 95% CI: .34/ .48). Based on the quality of life meta-analysis (N = 1037), we estimated the following significant bivariate effects: memory (r = .12, 95% CI: .03/.20]), language (r = .19, 95% CI: .06/ .32), attention (r = .30, 95% CI: .16/.44]), executive functions (r = .24, 95% CI: .12/.37) and visuospatial/constructional abilities (r = .30, 95% CI: .14/.46). Meta-analytic structural equation modelling (metaSEM) identified two significant, unique predictors of activities of daily living, attention and visuospatial abilities, and the model accounted for 21% of the variance (multiple R
