I thought it would be difficult, but this is actually something I can do - experiences with Virtual Reality-based cognitive training in persons with TBI.
Trial report in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionVirtual reality (VR) has been suggested as a promising technology for delivering cognitive training to persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI), as it can provide situations resembling everyday activities. Studies have demonstrated that persons with TBI manage utilizing VR in clinical settings; however, no studies have investigated VR use in home settings. The aim of this study was to explore how persons with TBI experience utilizing VR for rehabilitation at home and how they experience VR as cognitive training.
methodsIndividual qualitative interviews were conducted with ten persons with TBI, aged 18-65. Participants had experience using VR, as they were recruited from the intervention group in a randomized controlled trial investigating VR in cognitive training. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
resultsParticipants highlighted the importance of creating new routines when fitting VR into everyday life. They addressed how being in a virtual world contributes to their motivation for cognitive training. Three themes were developed: 'Fitting VR-training into everyday life', 'Navigating through change' and 'Being in two worlds at the same time'.
conclusionThis study shows that participants experienced VR as motivating, engaging, and easy to use, regardless of prior experiences with VR. The participants demonstrated how they included VR in everyday life by creating new routines when they performed cognitive training. Therewere few reports of adverse events. However, some experienced that VR had a negative impact on their energy level. Participants described the importance of therapeutic involvement for individual tailoring of the intervention.
