Structural Integrity and Functional Neural Activity Associated with Oral Language Function after Stroke.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
(1) Background: The impairment of language function after a stroke is common. It is unclear how the brain reorganizes for language function after cerebral infarction. The aim of this observational study is to investigate the association of structural integrity and functional neural activity with language function in aphasic patients with middle cerebral artery infarction. (2) Methods: Magnetic resonance images and scores from the Western Aphasia Battery on 20 patients were retrieved from medical records. A Voxel-wise linear regression analysis was performed using fractional anisotropy maps or the fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation maps as dependent variables and scores of oral language function as independent variables while controlling for age and time elapsed after stroke. (3) Results: Spontaneous speech was positively associated with fractional anisotropy in the left dorsal stream and the right posterior corpus callosum and with the fractional amplitude of the low-frequency fluctuation of cranial nuclei in the pontomedullary junction. Comprehension was positively associated with the left ventral stream. Naming was positively associated with the left ventral stream and the bilateral occipitofrontal fasciculus, as well as with the fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation of the supramarginal gyrus in the left hemisphere. (4) Conclusions: The dorsal and ventral streams are important for articulation and meaning after the reorganization of neural circuits following stroke. Subdomains of oral language function with a visual component are dependent on the visual association areas located in the right hemisphere.
