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

objectiveFirst, to investigate whether the 6 aspects of executive functions assessed by the Frontal Assessment Battery have different components and, if so, to extract those components using principal component analysis. Second, to identify patient groups based on their characteristics using cluster analysis.

designA cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS: Seventy-eight patients with stroke.

methodsThe Frontal Assessment Battery, Mini-Mental State Examination, Trail Making Test, and Stroop Color Word Test were performed within 5 days.

resultsBased on principal component analysis, the Frontal Assessment Battery was classified into cognitive control (subscales 1-3, 5) and behavioural control (subscales 4 and 6). Two clusters that reflect these components (cluster 1, n = 68; cluster 2, n = 10) were identified. The between-group comparison showed that compared with cluster 1, cluster 2 had lower scores on Frontal Assessment Battery subscales 4 and 6, the Frontal Assessment Battery total scores, and other executive functions scores. The Mini-Mental State Examination scores had no significant differences.

conclusionsThe Frontal Assessment Battery can be classified into 2 components, and the impairment of Frontal Assessment Battery subscales 4 and 6 identified a specific group of patients with stroke with severe executive dysfunction.
