Predicting daily functioning with the modified Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe modified Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (mTICS) is a frequently used telephone-based cognitive screening measure that can distinguish between normal aging, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Although it has been used to predict current and future cognitive function in older adults, no studies have examined if the mTICS can predict daily functioning.
aimsThe current study sought to examine the relationship between the mTICS and a performance-based measure of daily functioning.
methodsThe mTICS and demographic information (age, sex, education) were collected during a telephone screening visit for 149 older adults (65-91 years in age) with amnestic MCI. Three subscales of the Independent Living Scales (ILS; Managing Money, Managing Home and Transportation, Health and Safety) were collected during a baseline visit and during a 16 month follow-up visit in a subsample of 93 individuals.
resultsUsing simple hierarchical regression, baseline mTICS total score combined with demographic variables significantly predicted 19-22% of baseline ILS subscale scores. Similarly, in a subsample of 93 participants with 16 month follow-up data, baseline mTICS and demographic information predicted 9-31% of ILS subscale scores at follow-up.
conclusionsThe mTICS appears able to predict daily functioning in older individuals with MCI. Remote tracking of cognition and daily functioning in this at-risk group seems particularly beneficial to geriatricians and other providers, especially during COVID-19.
