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

Cognitive-motor integration plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation of individuals with complex disabilities, where dissociated impairments in cognition and movement often hinder global functioning. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of an integrated neurorehabilitation program targeting both neuropsychological and motor domains in patients with Rett Syndrome. Baseline assessments included measures of attention, memory, and temporal sequencing, as well as gross, fine, and graphomotor abilities, evaluated using relevant GAIRS subscales (Global Assessment and Intervention Rating Scale). Nineteen patients were enrolled in an experimental group receiving specialized cognitive-motor training three times a week for two consecutive 5-week periods. A control group of 15 patients participated in standard educational activities without specific cognitive-motor intervention. Performance was evaluated at three time points: T0 (baseline), T1 (after 5 weeks), and T2 (after an additional 5 weeks). Results indicated significant improvements in both neuropsychological and motor functions in the experimental group, with gains observed at both T1 and T2. Notably, a strong and significant correlation emerged between improvements in motor and cognitive measures, underscoring the interdependence of these domains in neurodevelopmental conditions such as Rett Syndrome. These findings support the implementation of integrated cognitive-motor protocols in neurorehabilitation and highlight the value of synchronized interventions to foster global functioning in individuals with complex neurodevelopmental profiles.
