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

objectiveFew studies have examined functional abilities and complaints in healthy older adults (HOAs) with subjective cognitive concerns (SCC). The aims of this study were to assess everyday functioning in HOAs reporting high and low amounts of SCC and examine cognitive correlates of functional abilities.

methodTwenty-six HOAs with high SCC and 25 HOAs with low SCC, as well as their knowledgeable informants, completed the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living-Compensation (IADL-C), a questionnaire measure of everyday functioning.

resultsAfter controlling for depression, the high-SCC group self-reported significantly more everyday difficulties on the IADL-C, including all subdomains. Compared to the low-SCC group, informants for the high-SCC group endorsed more difficulties on the IADL-C and specifically the social skills subdomain. For the high-SCC group, poorer self-report of everyday functioning was related to poorer executive functioning and temporal order memory.

conclusionsThese findings indicate that there may be subtle functional changes that occur early in the spectrum of cognitive decline in individuals with high SCC, and these functional changes are evident to informants. Further work is needed to investigate whether individuals with both SCC and functional difficulties are at an even higher risk for progression to mild cognitive impairment.
