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: Memory impairments are among the most common and disabling consequences of stroke, significantly affecting cognitive recovery and daily independence. Structured memory training strategies offer a promising, non-pharmacological approach to cognitive rehabilitation. Purpose: This study investigated the effects of a 14-day memory training program grounded in five core strategies-repetition, association, method of loci, chunking, and attention training-on cognitive and functional outcomes in stroke survivors. Methods: In a quasi-experimental design, 60 participants were assigned to either a memory strategy training group or a control group receiving standard care. Cognitive performance was evaluated using the MMSE and RBMT-II, while functional ability was assessed with the Barthel Index, pre- and post-intervention. Results: The memory training strategy group showed significant improvements in MMSE ( Conclusions: Memory training strategies are effective in enhancing post-stroke memory and cognitive function. These findings support the integration of mnemonic-based education into early rehabilitation programs for stroke patients.
