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

objectivesTo examine speed-of-processing training (SOPT) in older adults in senior living communities, especially those in assisted living.

designTwo-arm, parallel, randomized controlled trial.

settingAssisted and independent residence settings in 31 senior living communities.

participantsIndividuals aged 55 to 102 (mean 81.0, 73.8% female, 76.4% living alone, 47.0% residing in assisted living; N=351).

interventionThe intervention was 10 hours of computerized SOPT at baseline with 4-hour boosters at 5 and 11 months; the attention control was 10 hours of solving computerized crossword puzzles at baseline with 4-hour boosters at 5 and 11 months. MEASURES: Outcomes were useful field of view (UFOV) scores and improvements of 0.5 standard deviations (SDs) or more (> 158.4 ms). Data collection occurred at baseline, after training, and 6 and 12 months. Random-effects linear mixed-effect models were used to estimate SOPT effects in intention-to-treat complete-case and multiple imputation analyses.

resultsWe found statistically significantly small standardized effect sizes (Cohen's d

conclusionThese findings support public health messaging about the potential benefits of SOPT for older adults in senior living communities and support the feasibility and acceptability of SOPT in assisted and independent living for older adults.
