Reliable change in cognition over 1 week in community-dwelling older adults: a validation and extension study.
Article in Archives of clinical neuropsychology : the official journal of the National Academy of Neuropsychologists, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveReliable change methods can aid neuropsychologists in understanding if performance differences over time represent clinically meaningful change or reflect benefit from practice. The current study sought to externally validate the previously published standardized regression-based (SRB) prediction equations developed by Duff for commonly administered cognitive measures.
methodThis study applied Duff's SRB prediction equations to an independent sample of community-dwelling participants with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) assessed twice over a 1-week period. A comparison of MCI subgroups (e.g., single v. multi domain) on the amount of change observed over 1 week was also examined.
resultsUsing pairwise t-tests, large and statistically significant improvements were observed on most measures across 1 week. However, the observed follow-up scores were consistently below expectation compared with predictions based on Duff's SRB algorithms. In individual analyses, a greater percentage of MCI participants showed smaller-than-expected practice effects based on normal distributions. In secondary analyses, smaller-than-expected practice effects were observed in participants with worse baseline memory impairment and a greater number of impaired cognitive domains, particularly for measures of executive functioning/speeded processing.
conclusionsThese findings help to further support the validity of Duff's 1-week SRB prediction equations in MCI samples and extend previous research by showing incrementally smaller-than-expected benefit from practice for increasingly impaired amnestic MCI subtypes.
