Real-life cognitive functioning after acquired brain injury: An experience sampling study.

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
Background: Acquired brain injury (ABI) often leads to cognitive impairments, typically measured with cognitive tests in controlled environments. However, cognitive functioning in daily life is likely to fluctuate. This study explored the relationship between traditional subjective and objective cognitive measures and cognitive variability throughout the day and hypothesized that retrospective complaints are more strongly associated with momentary than baseline objective performance, and that greater cognitive variability would relate to higher subjective complaints. It also explored within-person associations between momentary cognitive performance and momentary affect, fatigue, social company and setting. Methods: We conducted an experience sampling method study among 41 ABI patients. Baseline measures (Checklist for Cognitive and Emotional consequences following stroke, Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Digit Symbol Substitution Test) were administered during a briefing session. Participants responded to seven semi-random daily beeps over seven days using a mobile app. Momentary cognitive performance was assessed with a short digital version of the Digit Symbol Substitution Test. Results: On average, participants completed 79% of beeps. Contrasting our hypothesis, cognitive variability was not associated with retrospective cognitive complaints or baseline cognitive performance. Multilevel analyses showed that momentary concentration complaints (β = 0.10, Conclusions: Momentary concentration complaints more accurately reflect real-time cognitive performance than retrospective questionnaires. Momentary fatigue impacts real-life cognition after ABI. Measuring cognitive variability can contribute to understanding the cognitive consequences of ABI.
