Computer- and Smart-Tablet-Based Self-Administered Treatments in Chronic Post-Stroke Aphasia: A Systematic Review.
Review in Brain sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIn current clinical practice, resources remain limited and are insufficient to address the needs of people with chronic post-stroke aphasia. To improve access to speech therapy, self-administered therapies using computers or smart tablets are increasingly recommended. In addition to enabling more intensive and prolonged treatment, computer- and smart-tablet-delivered therapies can be highly enjoyable and motivating for patients.
aimsThis systematic review aimed to identify computer- and smart-tablet-based self-administered treatments and analyze the proposed interventions in terms of treatment targets, effectiveness (considering specificity, generalization, transfer, and maintenance), and clinician involvement (during and/or prior self-administered therapies).
methodsTerms encompassing three main concepts (rehabilitation, self-administration, and aphasia) were used to search three electronic databases (Scopus, PubMed, and PsycINFO). Two reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts against eligibility criteria. Data extraction of included studies was completed by three reviewers.
resultsThirty-nine studies were included in this study. In terms of treatment targets, anomia is the most treated symptom in published studies (
conclusionsThis systematic review is the first to focus specifically on self-administered technology-based therapies. It provides important evidence-based information for clinical practice in self-administered therapies via computer or smart tablet.
