Review in Journal of neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07016893 (Exercise Workshop, Skill-Based Art Approaches, and Awareness Studies for Elderly Individuals With Cognitive Impairment), which is not on this map. Cited by 119 papers, 9 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a clinical condition with a high risk of progression to dementia. Due to lack of effective disease-modifying therapies for advanced dementia, diagnosis and disease intervention at an early stage, particularly at MCI stage, has been widely accepted as a critical strategy in disease management that could potentially affect long-term outcome. However, there is currently no consensus on guidelines for routine screening of MCI, resulting in a considerable number of patients with undiagnosed MCI from community. In addition, the use of different screening guidelines leads to difficulties in comparing different studies. A variety of screening tools have been utilized; however, the sensitivity and specificity vary greatly among these tools. By summarizing the sensitivity, specificity and time efficiency for common MCI screening tools, which are key factors to be taken into consideration when making selections and combinations of screening tools, this review suggests the use of a combination of two self-administered highly sensitive tools, p-AD8 + IQCODE (informant questionnaire on cognitive decline in the elderly individuals) in initial screening, as well as a combination of two highly specific widely covered tools, DemTect + MoCA (Montreal cognitive assessment) or memory and executive screening (MES) + MoCA in secondary screening. In addition, this review also proposes a screening flowchart for MCI, aiming to build a sensitive and time efficient way for recruiting subjects for subsequent investigation and disease differentiation.
