Validation of the Brief Assessment of Impaired Cognition and the Brief Assessment of Impaired Cognition Questionnaire for identification of mild cognitive impairment in a memory clinic setting.
Article in International journal of geriatric psychiatry, 2020. 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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to validate the Brief Assessment of Impaired Cognition (BASIC) and the Brief Assessment of Impaired Cognition Questionnaire (BASIC-Q) for identification of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in a memory clinic setting.
methodsA total of 163 sociodemographically matched patients (MCI, n = 42, and dementia, n = 121) and 83 control participants were included in the study. Two instruments were validated: (a) BASIC, including the components self-report, informant report, and two brief cognitive tests, and (b) BASIC-Q, including the components self-report, informant report, and orientation. BASIC can be administered in 5 minutes and BASIC-Q in less than 5 minutes.
resultsA high discriminative validity for MCI vs control participants was found for both BASIC (sensitivity 0.86, specificity 0.89) and BASIC-Q (sensitivity 0.88, specificity 0.88). In comparison, the MMSE had low sensitivity (0.61) and moderate specificity (0.72). All components of BASIC and BASIC-Q contributed significantly to differentiate MCI from control participants. The components of BASIC and BASIC-Q also contributed significantly to differentiate MCI from dementia, except for self-report, which was identical in the two groups.
conclusionsBoth BASIC and BASIC-Q are brief, valid, and effective instruments for identification of patients with possible MCI in a memory clinic setting. Further cross-validation of the instruments in a general practice or primary care setting is needed.
