Computer-Assisted Cognitive Remediation in Schizophrenia: Efficacy of an Individualized
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 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
Computer-assisted cognitive remediation (CACR) is an economical, adjustable, and effective treatment for individuals with schizophrenia. The current randomized controlled study examined whether an individualized or generic exercise plan in CACR is superior in patients with multiple cognitive deficits compared to treatment-as-usual (TAU). Fifty-nine inpatients diagnosed with schizophrenia were randomly assigned to 1) TAU, 2) TAU plus an individualized exercise plan in CACR, or 3) TAU plus a generic exercise plan in CACR. Neuropsychological performance, psychopathology, and functional outcome were assessed at baseline and post-treatment. The results show a medium to large training effect for all neuropsychological performance measures. Contrary to our expectations the neuropsychological improvement over time did not differ between groups. Self-reported depression, global level of functioning, and activity and participation functioning showed a significant improvement from baseline to post-treatment. However no further group, time, or interaction effects for other psychopathology and functional outcome could be demonstrated. Possible implications for clinical use of CACR and future studies are discussed.
