Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07157865 (A Comparison of Prism Adaptation Training), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

objectiveTo determine whether prism adaptation treatment (PAT) integrated into the standard of care improves rehabilitation outcome in patients with spatial neglect (SN).

designRetrospective matched control study based on information extracted from June 2017-September 2019.

settingInpatient rehabilitation.

participantsPatients from 14 rehabilitation hospitals scoring >0 on the Catherine Bergego Scale (N=312). The median age was 69.5 years, including 152 (49%) female patients and 275 (88%) patients with stroke.

interventionsPatients were matched 1:1 by age (±5 years), FIM score at admission (±2 points), and SN severity using the Catherine Bergego Scale (±2 points) and classified into 2 groups: treated (8-12 daily sessions of PAT) vs untreated (no PAT).

main outcome measuresFIM and its minimal clinically important difference (MCID) were the primary outcome variables. Secondary outcome was home discharge.

resultsAnalysis included the 312 matched patients (156 per group). FIM scores at discharge were analyzed using repeated-measures analyses of variance. The treated group showed reliably higher scores than the untreated group in Total FIM,

conclusionsPatients with SN receiving PAT had better functional and cognitive outcomes, suggesting that integrating PAT into the standard of care is beneficial. However, receiving PAT may not determine home discharge.
