Psychometric Properties of a Flanker Task in a Sample of Patients with Dementia: A Pilot Study.
Article in Dementia and geriatric cognitive disorders extra. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimsReliable and valid neuropsychological tests for patients with dementia are scarce. To improve the assessment of attention and inhibitory control in dementia, we determined the feasibility, test-retest reliability, and validity of a Flanker task.
methodsParticipants with all-cause diagnosed dementia (
resultsThe Flanker task was feasible. Test-retest reliability was good for number of correct answers and RTs, and fair to poor for accuracy and the interference scores. The correlation of the Flanker task with Stroop and MMSE performance was fair to poor.
conclusionThe Flanker task appears to be feasible, and a reliable and valid measure of selective attention. Although the test-retest reliability for the Flanker RT interference measure was fair, future studies need to confirm its validity to measure inhibitory control in patients with dementia.
