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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesDriving in patients with functional neurologic disorders (FND) is a major concern, but current guidelines (where they exist) are based on expert consensus only due to a lack of relevant empirical evidence. This study aimed to provide such evidence by comparing drivers with FND with healthy controls on aspects of driving performance and behavior important to crash risk, including hazard perception skill.

methodsParticipants completed validated self-report questionnaires of driving behaviors (assessing lapses, errors, violations, and attentional issues) and 2 computer-based measures of hazard perception skill (both known to be associated with crash risk).

resultsWe compared 43 patients who experience dissociative attacks or functional motor symptoms and 43 healthy controls. Patients with FND self-reported significantly more driving lapses and driving errors compared with healthy controls. However, there were no significant between-group differences in self-reports of ordinary violations, aggressive violations, or attention-related errors. Participants in the FND group and healthy controls exhibited a similar performance on a response time DISCUSSION: Our findings suggest that the ability of drivers with FND to predict traffic hazards in between attacks or flares is not worse than that of healthy individuals, with the possibility that it might even be better under some circumstances. Further studies with various populations are needed to replicate our findings.
