Correlates of Mild Behavioral Impairment in Older Adults: Protocol for a Scoping Review.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundUnderstanding mild behavioral impairment, a relatively recent notion in neuropsychological studies, provides significant insights into early behavioral indicators of cognitive decline and predicts the onset of dementia in older adults. Although the importance of understanding mild behavioral impairment is acknowledged, comprehensive reviews of its correlates with older adults are limited.
objectiveThis scoping review aims to identify the impact of mild behavioral impairment on health outcomes in older adults and the factors associated with mild behavioral impairment.
methodsThe review will adhere to the Joanna Briggs Institute's methodological principles for scoping reviews. We will include studies focusing mainly on mild behavioral impairment in older adults, with the literature on this topic being limited to the period from 2003 to the present. Other clinical diagnoses, such as cognitive impairment, Parkinson disease, and multiple sclerosis, will not be included. We will use databases including PubMed (MEDLINE), CINAHL, Web of Science, Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane, and Scopus for relevant articles published in English. Both gray literature and peer-reviewed articles will be considered during screening. Three independent reviewers will extract data using a predefined data extraction tool. Extracted data will be presented using tables, figures, and a narrative summary aligned with review questions, accompanied by an analysis of study characteristics and categorization of mild behavioral impairment correlates.
resultsThe results will be presented as a descriptive summary, structured according to the associated factors related to mild behavioral impairment, and the health outcomes. Additionally, the data on study characteristics will be presented in tabular format. An exploratory search was conducted in July 2023 to establish a comprehensive search strategy, and iterative refinements to the scoping review protocol and formalization of methods were completed. A follow-up search is planned for May 2024, with the aim of submitting the findings for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
conclusionsTo our knowledge, this would be the first study to map the literature on the health-related factors and outcomes of mild behavioral impairment. The findings will support the development of interventions to prevent the occurrence of mild behavioral impairment and mitigate the negative outcomes of mild behavioral impairment.
