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

Anosognosia for hemiplegia is a complex, multifaceted phenomenon. Due to the various different forms in which it manifests and the few tools available to treat it, it can create difficulties for both clinicians and researchers. Since the first definition established by Babinski, a great deal of research has been performed and has shown that this deficit in motor awareness involves not only motor aspects but also other, non-motor dimensions. These dimensions all need to be taken into consideration during the process of diagnosis, in particular when planning a rehabilitation programme. This article reviews the main instruments currently available for the diagnosis of anosognosia for hemiplegia. After a description of the best tests to assess motor dimensions (such as explicit and implicit anosognosia, emergent awareness and awareness for daily life activities), non-motor dimensions are analysed. The literature on the subject provides ideas and tools for the evaluation of cognitive (i.e., motor imagery), emotional and social (i.e., theory of mind) aspects. Finally, the importance of differential diagnoses in relation to disorders often associated with anosognosia is discussed.
