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

Introduction: Visuomotor adaptation to a displacement of the visual field induced by prismatic lenses can help rehabilitate cognitive deficits when combined with digital cognitive training. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach in rehabilitating visual constructive deficits in stroke patients, assess the generalization of improvements to daily living skills, identify which serious games best predicted improvements. Methods: Thirty stroke patients were randomly assigned to either a control group, receiving standard rehabilitation, or an experimental group, receiving a therapy combining prism adaptation with cognitive training through serious games over ten consecutive sessions. Patients were administered a neuropsychological test battery at baseline (T0) and after 10 days (T1). Visual constructive abilities were evaluated using Freehand Copy of Drawings and Copy of Drawings with Landmarks tests. Spatial attention was evaluated using Albert's Line Cancellation and Line Bisection tests. Functional abilities were evaluated with the Barthel Index. Results: Test scores of the Freehand Copy of Drawings improved from T0 to T1 in both the experimental (6.89 ± 2.7 vs. 7.83 ± 2.9; Conclusion: prismatic lenses combined with digital cognitive training improve visual construction and functional abilities in stroke patients, providing a novel method to promote stroke rehabilitation.
