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

backgroundAssessment of driving ability in people with cognitive impairment is a topic of great social relevance due to the high prevalence of dementia.

methodsA comprehensive systematic literature review was conducted on the research question, "Which evidence-based methods are suitable for assessing the fitness to drive of people with dementia or mild cognitive impairment?" for the period 2015-2020. The search was conducted in the Medline, PsycINFO, LIVIVO, PubPsych, Scopus, Cinahl, and CENTRAL databases.

resultsThirty studies were included in the qualitative analysis. Driving ability can be assessed with practice-based testing procedures such as On-road Driving, Simulator, and Naturalistic Driving. Theory-based methods include neuropsychological testing, driving-specific testing, and self-assessment questionnaires. Studies show that single neuropsychological tests are not sufficient to determine fitness to drive. Practice-based test procedures, driving-specific tests, and combinations of evidence-based methods have a higher informative value.

conclusionsIn view of the progressive course of dementia, the assessment of driving ability of people with cognitive impairment should be performed in a close-meshed way by a combination of theory- and practice-based methods.
