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

Multi-Modality Aphasia Therapy (M-MAT) is a cost-effective group intervention for post stroke aphasia. M-MAT was recently adapted for telerehabilitation but has not yet been tested. This pilot study aimed to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary signs of efficacy, providing 30 hours of M-MAT Tele to three groups of three people with chronic aphasia. Participants were grouped according to aphasia severity. Clinical outcomes were assessed at three timepoints. Feasibility and acceptability were assessed through a range of trial measures including recruitment, adherence, treatment fidelity and overall participant ratings. Recruitment targets were achieved, with nine participants receiving a median 24.4h of the prescribed dose. Therapy integrity and adherence were high (94%), effect sizes favoured positive clinical change, and acceptability was strong based on participant and therapist feedback. Minor protocol/software changes were recommended. This pilot study showed that M-MAT Tele was acceptable and feasible to participants and therapists, with positive preliminary outcomes.
