Assessment of finger motor function that reflects the severity of cognitive function.
Article in Fujita medical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectivesWe conducted a finger tapping movement test using a finger tapping device with magnetic sensors (UB-2) and performed multiple regression analyses using a number of finger movements parameters to estimate the severity of cognitive impairment.
methodsThe subjects of this study were 64 patients, including 44 diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (AD) (mean age: 73.8±7.0 years) and 20 diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) (mean age: 76.7±4.2 years). For the finger-tapping movement tasks, we tested single-hand (left and right) tapping, simultaneous tapping of both hands, and alternate tapping between hands. After measurement, multiple regression analysis adjusted for age and sex was performed to predict the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score from the calculated hand parameters.
resultsRelatively high standardized partial regression coefficients were observed for the following two parameters: standard deviation (SD) of distance rate of velocity peak in extending movement and the SD of contact duration. The coefficients of determination (R
conclusionsOur results suggest the possibility that these parameters may be used to assess cognitive function. We shall obtain large-scale data from older people to examine the possibility of these parameters to be used as an early diagnostic tool for dementia patients.
