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: Successive processing, a form of working memory function detected with the Das Naglieri Cognitive Assessment System, is selectively impaired in pediatric moyamoya disease. We aimed to test whether successive processing in children with moyamoya disease was improved after bypass surgery under the control of confounding. Methods: The present retrospective cohort study included children with moyamoya disease who underwent direct or combined bypass surgery. Neuropsychological tests including the Das Naglieri Cognitive Assessment System were administered at 2 time points, before and after surgery, approximately 1 year apart. The least squares (LS) mean standard score and LS mean difference between time points were calculated using a mixed model for repeated measures, which included 5 clinical factors along with the time point. Models including an interaction term were also generated to assess the effect of each clinical factor. Cognitive intra-individual variability across 4 domains of the Das Naglieri Cognitive Assessment System was assessed with an analysis of variance at each time point. Results: Of 60 patients who underwent surgery, 42 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The median duration between assessments was 15 months. The LS mean standard scores of successive processing increased after surgery (LS mean, 95.8 versus 100.2; LS mean difference, 4.4 [95% CI, 1.5-7.3]; Conclusion: The present results suggest that successive processing is improved after bypass surgery. Larger and longer follow-up studies are required to confirm the influencing factors and long-term effects.
