The continuous performance test aids the diagnosis of post-stroke cognitive impairment in patients with right hemisphere damage.

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
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the time course difference of relative changes in oxygenated hemoglobin (Oxy-Hb) concentration in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) between controls and patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) who had right hemisphere damage (RHD) using the continuous performance test (CPT) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technology. The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of CPT in the diagnosis and evaluation of PSCI with RHD. Methods: A total of 16 patients with RHD (RHD group) and 32 normal subjects (control group) were recruited. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale was used to assess post-stroke cognitive impairment. The CPT and fNIRS were employed to investigate task-related changes in Oxy-Hb levels. Results: The RHD group showed significantly lower accuracy and hit rates than the control group; however, the average reaction time was significantly longer in the former. Although the two groups showed no statistically significant difference in terms of left and right PFC integral values, the mean values were greater in the RHD group. The centroid value of the right PFC was significantly higher in the RHD group than in the control group. The time course of Oxy-Hb concentrations in the PFC differed between the two groups. In the RHD group, neural compensation was observed in both prefrontal lobes; however, the rate of compensation was slower on the affected side. Conclusion: The CPT may be helpful in the clinical diagnosis of PSCI with RHD. It may therefore be used to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive interventions.
