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

backgroundThe feasibility of cognitive rehabilitation is rarely investigated in patients with advanced multiple sclerosis.

methodsEighteen patients with advanced multiple sclerosis (median EDSS = 7.5) were randomized into restorative or compensatory cognitive rehabilitation. Feasibility was determined by adherence rate, completion rate, patient satisfaction, self-reported fatigue, training difficulty, and training duration.

resultsAdherence rates and completion rates were over 70%, and patients were highly satisfied in both groups. Energy levels decreased minimally during the sessions (pre = 6.9 vs post = 6.4). Training difficulty (4.6) and duration (5.7) were close to ideal (scale 1-10, 5 = ideal).

conclusionsCognitive rehabilitation, with minor adjustments, appears feasible in patients with advanced multiple sclerosis.
