But will they use it? Predictors of adoption of an electronic memory aid in individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment.

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
objectiveElectronic memory aids are being researched and developed widely to assist the everyday functioning of individuals experiencing cognitive decline. Although development studies show promise in the initial use of electronic memory aids, little is known about the factors that influence adoption of these aids after training ends.
methodWe analyzed the baseline characteristics (e.g., demographics, cognitive performance) and training usage (e.g., frequency and pattern of use) of 32 older adults experiencing amnestic mild cognitive impairment who participated in a pilot clinical trial with an electronic memory and management aid (EMMA) tablet application. Sixteen participants who were still using EMMA at 3-months posttraining were defined as "adopters," whereas the 16 participants who were not using EMMA at 3-months posttraining were defined as "nonadopters."
resultsAdopters scored higher on baseline delayed memory (Cohen's
conclusionsAdoption of this electronic memory aid was enhanced by teaching the aid to individuals who demonstrated average-level language abilities and who used the aid on average eight times per day during training. Encouraging individuals to use the aid early and often during training can increase adoption of electronic memory aids. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
