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.

2 · The registry

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 remediation (CR) is an evidence-based therapy used to improve cognition in people with schizophrenia. However, it often requires multiple in-person clinic sessions per week, which can limit scalability. This mixed methods study considered the feasibility and acceptability of a hybrid approach, which allowed for half the sessions to be conducted remotely as homework, without the clinician present. Individuals with schizophrenia were randomized to either all in-clinic or hybrid conditions and completed questionnaires and individual interviews about their experience. CR clinicians provided feedback in complement. Because of limited access to technology, most Hybrid CR participants had to come to clinic to access computers and often sought clinician support to do their homework. Participants in the two conditions were equally satisfied per the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire, and the majority reported perceived benefit and enjoyment. Both CR participants and clinicians identified access to technology as a barrier to program feasibility, while availability of clinician support positively impacted acceptability. Suggestions to improve CR highlighted adopting a flexible approach to providing CR that accounts for participant access to technology, potential benefit from peer interaction, and need for clinician support.
