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.

2 · The registry

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

Aim: To carry out a cognitive screening to detect cases of Neurocognitive Disorders (NCD) 60 and over years adults and estimate its prevalence in the eastern area of Tucumán. Methods: A neuropsychological assessment was carried out. Groups were formed according to the presence and severity of NCD. Results: 257 subjects participated in the study (X = 69.9 years, SD = 7.2; 60.7% of female gender). The prevalence of neurocognitive disorders was estimated at 51.17% with 90% confidence and a precision (d) of 4%. Main Conclusion: The prevalence exceeded the estimation for Argentina. From the tests it was observed that the lower the educational level and the older the age, the risk of developing neurocognitive disorders would increase. This work demonstrated the ability to develop large-scale epidemiological studies in public health, articulating the activity of the different healthcare centers, given the lack of studies about the matter in our country.
