Comparison of Cognitive Impairment Diagnosis Criteria in Clinical Settings: Conventional vs. Neuropsychological.
Article in Alpha psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Theories on Alzheimer disease pathogenesis propose a gap between pathological changes and the onset of clinical symptoms. The early detection of cognitive decline is crucial for the implementation of preventive strategies. Mild cognitive impairment is a transitional stage and an accurate diagnosis is vital. However, the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment varies due to inconsistent diagnostic criteria. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of comprehensive neuropsychological criteria, including all cognitive domains, for diagnosing cognitive impairment in clinical settings. Methods: The study included 509 subjects with subjective cognitive complaints between 2017 and 2021. They were diagnosed using the conventional and neuropsychological criteria, and the results were named the complex criteria (conventional criteria-neuropsychological criteria). Results: Concordance between the conventional and neuropsychological diagnostic criteria diagnoses was 87.82%. Some participants diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment or dementia using the conventional criteria were classified as normal according to the neuropsychological criteria. Notably, the mild cognitive impairment - normal cognition (MCI-NC) and dementia (DEM)-NC (normal cognition) groups exhibited distinct characteristics. The MCI-NC group had higher depression scores ( Conclusion: This study highlights the complexity of diagnosing cognitive impairment and the importance of comprehensive criteria. Relying solely on conventional criteria may lead to overdiagnosis. The neuropsychological criteria consider various cognitive domains and better discriminate between individuals with MCIs or other factors that contribute to cognitive difficulties.
