1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

Language outcomes after speech and language therapy in post-stroke aphasia are challenging to predict. This study examines behavioral language measures and resting state fMRI (rsfMRI) as predictors of treatment outcome. Fifty-seven patients with chronic aphasia were recruited and treated for one of three aphasia impairments: anomia, agrammatism, or dysgraphia. Treatment effect was measured by performance on a treatment-specific language measure, assessed before and after three months of language therapy. Each patient also underwent an additional 27 language assessments and a rsfMRI scan at baseline. Patient scans were decomposed into 20 components by group independent component analysis, and the fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF) was calculated for each component time series. Post-treatment performance was modelled with elastic net regression, using pre-treatment performance and either behavioral language measures or fALFF imaging predictors. Analysis showed strong performance for behavioral measures in anomia (R
