Computerized Cognitive and Skills Training in Older People With Mild Cognitive Impairment: Using Ecological Momentary Assessment to Index Treatment-Related Changes in Real-World Performance of Technology-Dependent Functional Tasks.
Trial report in The American journal of geriatric psychiatry : official journal of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectivesCognitive and functional skills training improves skills and cognitive test performance, but the true test of efficacy is real-world transfer. We trained participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or normal cognition (NC) for up to 12 weeks on six technology-related skills using remote computerized functional skills assessment and training (FUNSAT) software. Using ecological momentary assessment (EMA), we measured real-world performance of the technology-related skills over 6 months and related EMA-identified changes in performance to training gains.
designRandomized clinical trial with post-training follow-up.
settingA total of 14 Community centers in New York City and Miami.
participantsOlder adults with normal cognition (n = 72) or well-defined MCI (n = 92), ranging in age from 60 to 90, primarily female, and racially and ethnically diverse.
interventionComputerized cognitive and skills training. MEASUREMENTS: EMA surveys measuring trained and untrained functional skills 3 or more days per week for 6 months and training gains from baseline to end of training.
resultsTraining gains in completion times across all 6 tasks were significant (p <0.001) for both samples, with effect sizes more than 1.0 SD for all tasks. EMA surveys detected increases in performance for both trained (p <0.03) and untrained (p <0.001) technology-related skills for both samples. Training gains in completion times predicted increases in performance of both trained and untrained technology-related skills (all p <0.001).
conclusionsComputerized training produces increases in real-world performance of important technology-related skills. These gains continued after the end of training, with greater gains in MCI participants.
