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

objectiveTo address the limitations of conventional aphasia therapy by developing and clinically evaluating a machine learning based interactive lab for personalized rehabilitation in post-stroke patients. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: A four week clinical trial was conducted with 27 aphasia patients, randomly assigned to an experimental group ([Formula: see text]) using the Language Interactive Lab and a control group ([Formula: see text]) receiving conventional therapy. Language performance was assessed using the Chinese Communicative Aphasia Test (CCAT). System interaction data were also used to train classifiers for aphasia severity and recovery tracking.

resultsThe experimental group showed statistically significant improvements in 7 out of 9 CCAT subtests ([Formula: see text]) and a highly significant total score increase ([Formula: see text]) compared to the control group. Machine learning classifiers achieved up to 91.7% accuracy in predicting aphasia severity and recovery progression.

conclusionThe proposed interactive lab integrates gamified therapy with real time, explainable machine learning assessment, demonstrates clinical efficacy in improving language outcomes, and offers a scalable framework for AI-driven, adaptive neurorehabilitation that has been clinically validated within a hospital setting and designed to align with Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) regulatory principles for translational deployment in clinical environments and hospital investigational use guidelines. Clinical Impact-The integration of gamified digital therapy with machine learning analytics supports personalized, data driven intervention for aphasia rehabilitation in both clinical and home settings, particularly in resource limited environments. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement-This study supports Clinical Research by demonstrating that AI-powered digital therapy significantly improves language outcomes in post-stroke aphasia patients and offers a pathway to scalable, at home neurorehabilitation.
