Why Cognitive-Cognitive Dual-Task Testing Assessment Should Be Implemented in Studies on Multiple Sclerosis and in Regular Clinical Practice.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Cognitive impairment is prevalent and disabling in multiple sclerosis (MS) and is severely impacting quality of life (QoL). Aside its routine assessment in clinical care, it should more often be implemented as endpoint/outcome measure in clinical trials. However, a fundamental aspect-often neglected in clinical practice and clinical trials-is the assessment of multi-tasking and dual-tasking abilities. In this perspective article, we outline why, given the nature of MS, particularly the assessment of "cognitive-cognitive dual-tasking" is relevant in MS. We delineate how knowledge from basic cognitive science can inform the assessment of this important cognitive impairment in MS. Finally, we outline how the assessment of "cognitive-cognitive dual-tasking" can be implemented in computer-based screening tools (e-health devices) that can be used not only in clinical diagnostics but also in clinical trials.
