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: In addition to the language impairments experienced by people with aphasia (PWA), such as lexical access deficits, aphasia is often also accompanied by impaired attention, working memory, and verbal short-term memory. Growing evidence also suggests that difficulties in lexical access may be related to impaired domain-general cognitive processes, such as attention switching and processing speed. Methods: This study explored attentional shifting and processing speed in people with aphasia ( Results: Compared to controls, PWA showed impaired attentional blink performance in the linguistic condition ( Conclusion: These findings suggest that attentional shifting may play a foundational role in aphasic language processing and impairment. Further investigation is needed to understand the role of processing speed and whether attention shifting impairments are language-specific or extend to non-linguistic attentional shifting, as well.
