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
Objective: This study attempted to investigate the frontoparietal cortical reorganization associated with executive function (EF) in post-stroke executive dysfunction (PSED) patients, focusing on resting-state, Stroop and 1-back task-based functional connectivity (FC) using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Methods: We recorded oxygenated hemoglobin concentration signals from bilateral inferior parietal lobule (R_IPL/L_IPL), pre-motor area (R_PMA/L_PMA), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (R_DLPFC/L_DLPFC), Broca's area (R_Broca/L_Broca) and frontopolar cortex (FPC) of 20 PSED patients and 20 healthy controls (HCs). We compared group differences in cortical response, including functional connectivity (FC) during resting-state, task-based FC during Stroop and 1-back task as well as cortical activation during these tasks. Additionally, we analyzed the correlation between MoCA scores, task performance, and any specific cortical response that showed differences. Results: PSED patients exhibited hypoactivation in executive-related regions during both Stroop and 1-back tasks compared to HCs. During the Stroop task, cross-hemispheric hyperconnectivity from the left inferior parietal lobule (IPL) to the right Broca's area suggested compensatory adaptation. During the 1-back task, within-frontal and intra-hemispheric hypoconnectivity indicated maladaptive neural reorganization. Correlation analyses revealed that increased directed FC from the left IPL to right Broca was positively associated with Stroop reaction time, while decreased directed FC from the right IPL to the frontopolar cortex (FPC) was negatively associated with 1-back task performance in PSED patients. Conclusions: Our study highlights the importance of including the parietal cortex in fNIRS studies of PSED to obtain a comprehensive understanding of EF deficits. From the investigation of task-based cortical response, PSED patients exhibited different patterns of FC despite reduced task-based cortical activation: compensatory cross-hemispheric hyperconnectivity during the Stroop task, while maladaptive within-frontal and between IPL and frontopolar hypoconnectivity during the 1-back task. Incorporating the insights gained from our study, future research can explore multi-targeted neuromodulation strategies that address frontal and parietal cortices may be more effective in improving cognitive outcomes in stroke survivors.
