Revealing Linguistic and Verbal Short-Term and Working Memory Abilities in People with Severe Aphasia.
Article in Aphasiology, 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
Background: The assessment of aphasia in people with severe deficits is hampered by a paucity of tests that are appropriate for this population and that are sensitive to their underlying linguistic and short-term and working memory (STM/WM) strengths and weaknesses. The Temple Assessment of Language and Short-Term Memory in Aphasia (TALSA) provides a means of assessing people with severe aphasia (PWSA). Aims: The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the sensitivity of the TALSA to the underlying linguistic and STM/WM strengths and weaknesses in PWSA. We assessed eight PWSA on selected subtests of the TALSA and found that 1) the TALSA is sensitive to the underlying linguistic and verbal STM/WM abilities of PWSA, 2) the TALSA reveals a wide variety of linguistic and verbal STM/WM profiles in PWSA and, 3) the TALSA can potentially demonstrate common patterns of performance in PWSA. Main contributions: The TALSA allows researchers to include more PWSA in the study of aphasia and enables clinicians to establish more accurate prognoses, create precisely targeted treatment plans and document incremental progress in therapy. Conclusions: The TALSA is an important addition to the assessment of severe aphasia. It provides an in-depth evaluation of underlying linguistic and verbal STM/WM strengths and weaknesses of PWSA.
