Evaluation of a computer-assisted cognitive remediation program for young people with psychosis: A pilot study.

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
backgroundPeople with psychosis have a range of neuropsychological impairments that impact their functional abilities and rehabilitation outcomes. We designed a Computer-Assisted Cognitive Remediation (CACR) program to help young people with psychosis to restore their cognitive function. The program combines the drill-and-practice approach and the strategic approach to remediation, with sixteen sessions of computerized cognitive training, two sessions of psychoeducation, and four session of coaching on applying cognitive skills to daily life.
methodThis was a randomized, single-blind, controlled study in which the outcomes of the CACR program were compared with outcomes of a treatment-as-usual (TAU) control group. Pre-intervention and post-intervention measures were compared.
resultsWhen compared with the control group, the intervention group had significant increases in their MCCB neurocognitive composite scores, and specifically in the areas of verbal learning and speed of processing at posttest. They also had significant increases in their secondary outcome measures of mental well-being and perceived occupational competence. There were no significant differences in functional status between the two groups at post-test.
conclusionsThe CACR program was effective in improving overall cognitive function and in the specific domains of verbal learning, speed of processing, and effect sizes were small. Participants also experienced positive changes in mental well-being and perceived competence.
