1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

In individuals with subjective cognitive impairments (SCI) the risk for the development of a neurodegenerative disease is assumed to be increased. However, it is not clear which factors contribute to the expression of SCI: Is it related to the cognitive resources already challenged, or is the psycho-affective state of more relevance? Using a novel online assessment combining self-report questionnaires and neuropsychological psychometric tests, significant predictors for the level of complaints were identified in two samples of elderly individuals: Help-seekers (HS, n = 48) consulting a memory clinic and a matched sample of non-help-seekers (nHS, n = 48). Based on the results of the online assessment, the SCI level was found to be significantly determined by the psycho-affective state (depressive mood) in the nHS group, whereas cognitive performance (cued recall) was the main predictor in the HS group. The predictive value of recall performance, however, is more-strongly expressed in memory tests which reduce the impact of compensatory strategies (face-name-association vs. word lists). Our results indicate that the problem-focused behavior of help-seeking individuals is also associated with a higher sensitivity for cognitive deficits-which can be uncovered with an appropriate psychometric test. Considering these factors, the conversion risk in individuals with SCI can probably be determined more reliably.
