Summary of findings for the main comparison.
| Non‐pharmacological interventions compared with standard care for perceptual disorders | ||||||

Patient or population: people with perceptual disorders following acquired brain injury (stroke and trauma) Settings: rehabilitation units Intervention: non‐pharmacological therapy Comparison: placebo or no treatment in addition to standard care | ||||||

| Independence in activities of daily living Effects lasting up to 6 months |

The mean Rivermead ADL scale was 10.0 in the only trial to report this outcome | The mean Rivermead ADL in the intervention groups was 10.9 | 33 (1) | ++OO low | Based on single small study with unclear methods: allocation and interim analysis processes | |
| Independence in activities of daily living (ADL): driving test pass rate Effects at scheduled end of intervention |
Medium risk population | OR 1.3 (0.56 to 3.1) | 97 (1) | +++O moderate | Based on single small study | |

| *The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI). CI: Confidence interval; OR: Odds Ratio. | ||||||
| GRADE Working Group grades of evidence High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect. Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate. Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate. Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate. | ||||||
