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

Background: This longitudinal pilot trial investigated the effects of novel Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM) training targeting fatigue on cognitive biases, fatigue, vitality, and fatigue-related behaviour in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: Thirty patients were alternately allocated to a week of CBM training with either attentional bias modification (ABM) or self-identity bias modification (SIBM), followed by a second week with the trainings combined. Twenty-two participants (12 pre-dialysis, 10 dialysis) completed the study, where cognitive biases and self-reported outcomes were measured at baseline, post-training, and follow-up. Possible interaction effects between CBM focus and disease stage were explored. Results: A significant effect of time was found on both cognitive biases; participants' attentional bias (Cohen's Conclusions: This is the first study to introduce CBM, which targets fatigue, to people with CKD. Despite the limitations in sample size and design, this study revealed strong effects on cognitive biases. It is recommended to replicate these findings in an adequately powered randomised controlled trial.
