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

aimFew evidence-based methods are available in cognitive neurorehabilitation for children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a digitalised version of the Swedish Memory and Attention Re-training in children treated for brain tumours.

methodsChildren referred to neurorehabilitation after brain tumour treatment in Stockholm, and their parents, were invited to participate and train for 4 weeks with the programme. Evaluation considering time consumption, motivation and overall experience of the programme was made in weekly meetings with a supervisor and through questionnaires.

resultsThree children aged 10-14 and their parents participated. The amount of daily training was considered acceptable, the digitalised format was viewed as appealing, and strategies learned were considered applicable to everyday life. However, the programme was perceived as too short and needed more levels of difficulty.

conclusionWe consider the programme feasible for children with attention and memory problems after brain tumour treatment. Further accommodations should include a wider range of difficulty levels in exercises and further promote far-transfer effects.
