Informant Characteristics Influence Reports of Participant Functioning and their Associations with Neuropsychological Performance in Non-Hispanic Black Adults.
Observational study in Archives of clinical neuropsychology : the official journal of the National Academy of Neuropsychologists, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveAssessing one's functional capacity-in addition to neuropsychological performance-is essential for determining neurocognitive status, and functional assessment is often provided via informant report. Although informant characteristics have been shown to influence reports of participant functioning, the degree to which they moderate relationships between reported functioning and participant performance on neuropsychological testing is unclear. Moreover, associations among informant characteristics, reported functioning, and neuropsychological performance have not been adequately examined with non-Hispanic Black (NHB) samples, despite this population's disproportionately high risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
methodIn this cross-sectional observational study, we examined the influence of informant characteristics on informant reports of participant functioning (assessed via the Functional Activities Questionnaire [FAQ]) and associations between reported functioning and participant performance on neuropsychological testing, among NHB adult participants in the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center cohort (n = 1024).
resultsInformants who were younger, female, more educated, knew participants longer, or lived with participants reported poorer participant functioning (p < .001). However, younger (vs. older) informants provided reports of functioning that were more predictive of visuoconstructional ability and visual memory, and male (vs. female) informants provided reports of functioning that were more predictive of verbal memory, visuoconstructional ability and visual memory, and language (ps < .001).
conclusionsWithin the context of neurocognitive evaluations of NHB participants, informant characteristics may influence subjective reports of participants' functioning and the extent to which reported functioning corroborates objective participant performance on neuropsychological testing.
