Are brief batteries able to identify aphasia in elderly people? A study with the ABLA Battery.
Article in CoDAS, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the performance of healthy elderly individuals and elderly individuals with post-stroke aphasia using the ABLA Battery - Brief Assessment of Language and Aphasias in order to verify if this brief battery is able to identify and characterize linguistic deficits in elderly individuals as well as to assess the effectiveness of this tool as a screening for aphasia.
methodsSixteen neurologically healthy elderly individuals (Control Group- CG) and sixteen elderly persons with aphasia (Clinical Group EPWA) were assessed using the ABLA Battery. Data analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U Test to compare performance on linguistic tasks between the two groups.
resultsThe Clinical Group scored significantly lower on all tasks of the ABLA Battery compared to the Control Group, with statistically significant differences (p<0.05).
conclusionAphasia negatively impacts the linguistic abilities of older adults, and the ABLA Battery was shown to be effective in promptly identifying these early changes.
