The Contribution of Paresis, Age, and the Effect of Short Training on Cognitive-Motor Dual-Task Interference After Stroke: A Pilot 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
Simultaneously performing cognitive and motor tasks after a stroke interfered with each other. Considering the competing deficits of cognition and motor paresis, we aimed here to assess the overall functional impairments of patients after stroke injury. A range of dual-task (DT) assessments was made on 63 post-stroke patients (PS) and 49 healthy age-matched controls. Patients with paresis (P) and without paresis (NP) were compared with controls before and after DT training. Differences between the NP patients and controls confirmed the cognitive decline, while the comparison between the NP and P patients strengthened the motor damage in P patients. The elderly patients performed worse. According to the ArtANOVA analysis, age was more important than paresis in DT performance. Short-term training modified the test results, especially in P patients. In conclusion, paresis and older age significantly worsen the outcomes of the cognitive dual-task tests. The age-dependent results may reflect cognitive decline, especially in NP patients. Consequently, the dual-task test results may represent global cognitive deterioration after stroke. Short-term dual-task training improves dual-task performance, especially in the P groups.
