Limited and inconclusive effects of computer-based neurocognitive training on PTSD, comorbid depression and executive functioning: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and comorbid depression often experience neurocognitive deficits. While computer-based neurocognitive training (c-bnt) has shown benefits in primary depression, its efficacy for PTSD remains unclear. This meta-analysis evaluated the impact of c-bnt on PTSD severity, comorbid depression, and neurocognitive functions. A systematic review following PRISMA guidelines was conducted across databases (PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, PubPsych) from February to June 2025, focusing on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving PTSD and c-bnt. Bias risk was assessed using the revised Cochrane Risk-of-Bias Tool, and effect sizes were calculated with Cohen's
