Mediators, Moderators, and Covariates: Matching Analysis Approach for Improved Precision in Cognitive-Communication Rehabilitation Research.
Article in Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
purposeThe dual goals of this tutorial are (a) to increase awareness and use of mediation and moderation models in cognitive-communication rehabilitation research by describing options, benefits, and attainable analytic approaches for researchers with limited resources and sample sizes and (b) to describe how these findings may be interpreted for clinicians consuming research to inform clinical care.
methodWe highlight key insights from the social sciences literature pointing to the risks of common approaches to linear modeling, which may slow progress in clinical-translational research and reduce the clinical utility of our work. We discuss the potential of mediation and moderation analyses to reduce the research-to-practice gap and describe how researchers may begin to implement these models, even in smaller sample sizes. We discuss how these preliminary analyses can help focus resources for larger trials to fully encapsulate the heterogeneity of individuals with cognitive-communication disorders.
resultsIn rehabilitation research, we study groups, but we use the findings from those studies to treat individuals. The most functional clinical research is about more than establishing only whether a given effect exists for an "average person" in the group of interest. It is critical to understand the active ingredients and mechanisms of action by which a given treatment works (mediation) and to know which circumstances, contexts, or individual characteristics might make that treatment most beneficial (moderation).
conclusionsIncreased adoption of mediation and moderation approaches, executed in appropriate steps, could accelerate progress in cognitive-communication rehabilitation research and lead to the development of targeted treatments that work for more clients. In a field that has made limited progress in developing successful interventions for the last several decades, it is critical that we harness new approaches to advance clinical-translational research results for complex, heterogeneous groups with cognitive-communication disorders.
