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
This study investigated the feasibility of delivering Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA) within a fully immersive virtual reality (VR) environment for adults with normal cognitive aging (NCA) and communication disorders (CSD). The scope included short-term semantic feature training, baseline assessments, and evaluation of engagement and acceptability. Thirty-five adults (11-younger, 11-older, and 13-CSD) completed a two-phase protocol involving standardized SFA and VR-delivered SFA (VRSFA) across five tasks: picture naming, associative matching, common feature identification, semantic feature questions, and integrated SFA training. Participants completed cognitive and language assessments pre- and post-intervention, with qualitative feedback gathered through thematic analysis. Quantitative data were analyzed using non-parametric tests to assess group differences and task effects. Findings indicate that immersive VR is a feasible, engaging, and promising approach for delivering evidence-based semantic-feature training for individuals with typical and impaired cognitive communication profiles. Results support continued exploration of VR as a scalable and accessible rehabilitation modality in speech-language pathology.
