The case-finding study: A novel community-based research recruitment approach for engaging participants with early cognitive decline.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia (New York, N. Y.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionInnovative recruitment strategies are needed to better engage potential research participants at a preclinical stage of cognitive decline.
methodsLocal newspaper advertisements attracted community-dwelling people ≥55 years with memory concerns, who were interested in research, to self-refer for cognitive assessment and discuss cognitive research involvement. Respondents completed telephone screening and then attended an in-person cognitive screening assessment with a study partner. Case conferencing with a clinician researcher characterized a "clinical suspicion" of the participant's cognitive concern.
resultsOf 209 respondents who underwent in-person assessment, 203 participants were classified as having subjective cognitive decline (47%), mild cognitive impairment (44%), or dementia (9%). Thirty percent of participants were enrolled in observational studies or randomized controlled trials. DISCUSSION: Community-based engagement, cognitive screening, and case conferencing effectively combined to identify research participants at risk of cognitive decline and recruited participants into cognitive research studies. Those not recruited continued to be followed up longitudinally.
