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
introductionCognitive complaints are common late effects in patients with cancer, and no standard treatment exists. Recent studies with several patient populations have indicated that there is potential to improve working memory (WM) via web-based WM training. However, the feasibility of including web-based WM training as part of inpatient cancer rehabilitation, in combination with unprompted home-based training, has not been studied. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of including web-based WM training (using Cogmed QM) during inpatient rehabilitation and its subsequent unprompted completion in a home-based setting.
methodsPatients with cancer who self-reported cognitive complaints were instructed to complete 25 Cogmed QM sessions during their 3-week inpatient multidisciplinary cancer rehabilitation and subsequently at home after discharge from rehabilitation. The feasibility was determined by assessing the study recruitment, adherence to the WM training, improvements in training tasks (compliance measure) and patient experiences by individual interviews.
resultsTwenty-nine (27 women) of 32 eligible patients (89.6%) started WM training, 1 declined participation and 2 patients withdrew before WM training started. Twenty-six of 29 (89.6%) participants adhered to the intervention during rehabilitation, while 19 of 29 (65.5%) also adhered to the subsequent unprompted home-based intervention. All participants who completed the Cogmed QM sessions demonstrated improvements in the training tasks, as defined by the Cogmed Improvement Index (MD = 24.05, SD = 9.38, range 2-44,
conclusionThe findings show that it is feasible to include web-based WM training during inpatient multidisciplinary rehabilitation for adult patients with cancer with cognitive complaints. However, patient adherence to unprompted web-based WM training after discharge from rehabilitation was not optimal. Thus, future studies should consider the barriers to adherence and the need for supervision and social support to reinforce home-based training.
