Pilot Testing of the MyCog Assessment: Rapid Detection of Cognitive Impairment in Everyday Clinical Settings.
Article in Gerontology & geriatric medicine. 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
Cognitive impairment (CI) and dementia can have profound social and emotional effects on older adults. Early detection of CI is imperative both to the identification of potentially treatable conditions and to provide services to minimize the effects of CI in cases of dementia. While primary care settings are ideal for identifying CI, it frequently goes undetected. We tailored a brief, iPad-based, cognitive assessment (MyCog) for primary care settings and piloted it in a sample of older adults. Eighty participants were recruited from an existing cohort study and completed a brief, in-person interview. CI was determined based on a diagnosis of dementia or CI in their medical record or based on a comprehensive cognitive battery performed within the past 18 months. MyCog had a sensitivity of 79% and specificity of 82%, offering a practical, scalable, primary care assessment for the routine case finding of cognitive impairment and dementia.
