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: The use of tele-neuropsychology (teleNP) is increasing within Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 20. A quality improvement survey was conducted to better understand VISN 20 staff opinions of teleNP, how to improve the services, and whether it is preferred over face-to-face (F2F) neuropsychology evaluations in community-based settings. Methods: The authors surveyed US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) VISN 20 staff from February 7, 2024, to June 15, 2024. Eighteen of 33 respondents had referred patients for neuropsychology services during the previous year. Results: The mean (SD) rating of teleNP usefulness was 1.5 (0.8) (between very much so and mostly useful on the scale) and the rating of non-VA F2F neuropsychology evaluation usefulness was 1.7 (0.9). A Wilcoxon signed rank-test of related samples indicated no differences between the pairs of ratings ( Conclusions: While response rate was low, the survey provides initial support for the acceptability and utility of teleNP among VA staff who responded to the survey, with favorable comparisons of teleNP to existing F2F neuropsychology resources.
