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/objectives: Anomia is a common linguistic consequence of post-stroke aphasia. Widely used confrontation-naming measures were developed primarily in English-speaking populations, and item familiarity may not transfer to Arabic speakers. We developed the Arabic Naming Test (ANT) as a culturally grounded picture-naming task and examined its preliminary clinical feasibility in Saudi Arabic-speaking adults. Methods: In this cross-sectional convenience-sample study, 75 neurotypical native Arabic-speaking adults and 30 adults with post-stroke aphasia completed a 90-item picture-confrontation naming task. Accuracy and response latency were recorded; participants with aphasia also completed a sequential semantic-phonemic cueing protocol. Welch tests and age-adjusted sensitivity analyses compared groups. Results: The aphasia group had lower ANT scores than neurotypical peers ( Conclusion: In this preliminary convenience sample, the ANT showed substantial known-groups differences between Saudi Arabic-speaking neurotypical adults and adults with post-stroke aphasia and generated descriptive cueing and error-profile observations. These findings support continued development of a culturally grounded Arabic naming measure; however, larger, demographically balanced multi-site studies are needed before formal reliability, psychometric validation, diagnostic accuracy, or clinically meaningful thresholds can be established.
