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

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of tDCS during intensive word-finding therapy on subacute aphasia after stroke. A single-case study with an 86-year-old man with four years of formal education, diagnosed with an ischemic stroke in the left hemisphere, resulting in non-fluent aphasia of the mixed type, accompanied by acquired apraxia of speech. For this purpose, the Montreal-Toulouse Language Assessment Battery - Brief Version was administered at five different time points: (A1) one week before the start of treatment; (A2) after the first session; (A3) after five sessions; (A4) after ten sessions and; (A5) after 30 days without intervention. The Naming and Visual Recognition Test was also administered at points A1, A4 and A5. After the intervention, improvements were noted in word naming and verbal word comprehension. There was a reduction in linguistic errors such as paraphasias. These results support the combination of tDCS and behavioral training.
