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

backgroundFluid intelligence (g) contributes to executive-task performance, but its role in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) remains unclear.

objectivesTo examine whether executive deficits in PSP are explained by reductions in g.

methodsThirty-five PSP patients, 39 Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and 18 healthy controls underwent neuropsychological assessment. G was derived using principal component analysis from non-executive cognitive measures. Group differences in executive performance were examined before and after controlling for g. Healthy controls provided contextual comparison.

resultsIn PSP versus PD, differences in phonemic fluency and TMT-B were no longer significant after controlling for g, whereas WCST categories remained significant. In PSP versus healthy controls, WCST and phonemic fluency remained significant after controlling for g. Sensitivity analyses in cognitively preserved participants showed similar results.

conclusionsExecutive deficits in PSP are partly associated with reduced g, but cognitive flexibility appears to reflect an additional disease-related impairment.
