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

Introduction: Visual prompts enhance motor performance in goal-directed tasks by modulating attentional resource allocation. Given that stroke patients often exhibit attentional deficits and impaired visual processing, cue-based interventions are increasingly used in neurorehabilitation. However, how different prompt types interact with attentional capacity to influence attention-motor performance remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the differential effects of static and dynamic prompts in stroke patients and healthy controls. Methods: Sustained attention was assessed using the Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART) in stroke patients and healthy controls. A virtual reality-based Target-Goal Task (TGT) was employed to compare the effects of static and dynamic prompts between groups. Results: Stroke patients showed significant impairments in attention-motor performance compared with controls. In healthy individuals, dynamic prompts were associated with faster response times, higher prefrontal oxygenated hemoglobin levels, and more efficient brain network topology (i.e., higher clustering coefficient [CC] and shorter characteristic path length [PL]), indicating enhanced attentional allocation and information integration. In contrast, stroke patients performed better under static cue conditions, possibly due to lower cognitive load demands. Discussion: The effects of visual prompts depend on sustained attention capacity. These findings highlight the importance of tailoring prompt strategies to individual cognitive profiles and provide evidence for personalized visual cue-based rehabilitation.
