A Closer Look at Practice Effects in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's Disease.
Observational study in Archives of clinical neuropsychology : the official journal of the National Academy of Neuropsychologists, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Practice effects have become a potentially important variable regarding the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment recommendations in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the understanding of these short-term changes in test scores remains unclear. The current observational study sought to examine variables that influence the magnitude of short-term practice effects in MCI and AD, including demographic information, cognitive performance, daily functioning, and medical comorbidities. One hundred sixty-six older adults classified as cognitively intact, amnestic MCI, or mild AD were tested twice across 1 week with a brief battery of neuropsychological tests. Correlational and regression analyses examined the relationship of practice effects with demographic and clinical variables. Results indicated that practice effects were minimally related to demographic variables and medical comorbidities, but they were significantly related to cognitive variables, depressive symptoms, and daily functioning. These findings expand our understanding of practice effects in MCI and AD, and they may allow a better appreciation of how they could affect clinical care and research.
