Multisensory stimulation for the rehabilitation of unilateral spatial neglect.

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
Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is a neuropsychological syndrome, typically caused by lesions of the right hemisphere, whose features are the defective report of events occurring in the left (contralesional) side of space and the inability to orient and set up actions leftwards. Multisensory integration mechanisms, largely spared in USN patients, may temporally modulate spatial orienting. In this pilot study, the effects of an intensive audio-visual Multisensory Stimulation (MS) on USN were assessed, and compared with those of a treatment that ameliorates USN, Prismatic Adaptation (PA). Twenty USN stroke patients received a 2-week treatment (20 sessions, twice per day) of MS or PA. The effects of MS and PA were assessed by a set of neuropsychological clinical tests (target cancellation, line bisection, sentence reading, personal neglect, complex drawing) and the Catherine Bergego Scale for functional disability. Results showed that MS brought about an amelioration of USN deficits overall comparable to that induced by PA; personal neglect was improved only by MS, not by PA. The clinical gains of the MS treatment were not influenced by duration of disease and lesion volume, and they persisted up to one month post-treatment. In conclusion, MS represents a novel and promising rehabilitation procedure for USN.
