Profiles of executive functioning following traumatic brain injury and stroke using the assessment of participation and executive functions: combined cross-sectional and longitudinal designs.
Article in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesThe Assessment of Participation and Executive Functions (A-PEX) evaluates executive functioning through daily participation in complex daily activities. This study examines its ability to discriminate between executive functioning profiles post-traumatic brain injury and post-stroke and its sensitivity to changes.
designCross-sectional with a longitudinal component. PATIENTS: Adults with post-traumatic brain injury (n = 28) and post-stroke (n = 26) in a rehabilitation facility.
methodsPatients were administered the A-PEX, Multiple Errands Test-Hospital version and Color Trail Test at 2 time-points 1 month apart. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment was administered at the first time-point, and Executive Functions Performance Test's Internet-based Bill Payment subtest at the second. The analysis used Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.
resultsThe stroke group's A-PEX scores were higher than the traumatic brain injury group's at the first time-point (p < 0.05). No differences were found in the other assessments. Within-group differences in both groups were significant in the A-PEX (-3.7 < r < - 2.3, p < 0.05) and Multiple Errands Test-Hospital version (-3.4 < r < -3.3, p < 0.01).
conclusionThe A-PEX may provide valuable information about the uniqueness of executive functioning profiles and patients' progress.
