Influence of the Big Five personality traits on intensive therapy adherence within people with aphasia.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Background: Guideline-based aphasia rehabilitation recommends intensive speech and language therapy, yet people with aphasia in German-speaking countries often receive substantially lower doses. Personality traits predict adherence in chronic disease, but their relevance for aphasia care is unclear. We examined associations between Big Five traits and therapy frequency and explored trait links to reported reasons for non-guideline-based care. Methods: From January to April 2024 we conducted a cross-sectional survey on patient-reported reasons for insufficient therapy. Overall, 260 individuals with aphasia participated; 243 completed the BFI-10. Median age was 62 years (range 20-88) and median aphasia duration 5.5 years. Therapy frequency was recorded categorically (none, monthly, weekly, twice weekly, 3 times weekly). Associations were tested using Spearman correlations and Mann-Whitney Results: Conscientiousness correlated positively with therapy frequency ( Conclusion: Personality shows small but significant associations with therapy frequency and selected perceived barriers in aphasia rehabilitation. Given the cross-sectional, exploratory design, inferences are tentative. These effects were small and should be interpreted with caution. Results support incorporating personality into biopsychosocial models and motivate hypothesis-driven longitudinal studies.
