Meta-analysis of Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT) FAS performance in amnestic mild cognitive impairment and cognitively unimpaired older adults.
Synthesis in Applied neuropsychology. Adult. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Findings from several studies have shown that amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) older adults have significantly lower performance on phonemic fluency tasks relative to cognitively unimpaired (CU) older adults. These findings suggest that nonmemory domains, such as executive function, are impacted in aMCI. As Alzheimer's disease (AD) research has shifted toward identifying and characterizing preclinical AD, there is a need to identify subtle but significant cognitive changes that are below the threshold for clinical impairment. The aim of this meta-analysis was to examine phonemic fluency differences between aMCI and CU older adults. Data from 18 studies were included in this analysis that found that aMCI individuals' phonemic fluency performance was approximately seven points lower than CU individuals (Δ = -7.31, 95% CI [-9.10, -5.52],
