Effectiveness of Cognitive Rehabilitation in Improving Symptoms and Restoring Cognitive Functions in Patients with Depression: An Updated Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Review in Alpha psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Objective: Patients with depression often experience cognitive impairments. Cognitive rehabilitation, as an adjunctive intervention, may help to improve symptoms and restore functions in these patients. This study explores the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation in improving symptoms and restoring cognitive functions in patients with depression. Methods: The following databases were systematically searched for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs): PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Two reviewers independently screened the studies. The search was conducted from the inception of the databases to April 10, 2024. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% CIs, confidence interval were calculated using RevMan v. 5.3 software, and heterogeneity was assessed using Cochran's Q test and the Results: A total of 14 RCTs involving 700 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with the control group, there was no significant difference in the severity of depression after cognitive rehabilitation intervention, with a pooled SMD of -0.14 (95% CI: -0.32 to 0.05; Conclusion: Cognitive rehabilitation shows certain value in improving attention and verbal learning in patients with depression as an adjunctive treatment, but its effectiveness in improving depressive symptoms, executive function, and working memory remains inconclusive. Future large-sample RCTs are needed to further explore this aspect.
