The efficacy of a mobile-based multidomain program on cognitive functioning of residents in assisted living facilities.
Article in Public health in practice (Oxford, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a mobile-based multidomain application, Silvia Program, on cognitive functioning of residents in assisted living facilities (ALFs). Study design: Pilot randomized controlled trial using a two-group pretest-posttest design. Methods: Twenty participants living in ALFs were randomized to a Silvia group or usual care group. Silvia group received mobile-based Multidomain lifestyle intervention for 50-60 min, twice weekly, for 12 weeks. We assessed the cognitive functioning using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Results: Results are that the total MoCA scores of the Silvia group showed significant improvement while the total scores of the control group declined. Conclusion: The present study provides suggestive evidence for an overall positive effect of the use of the Silvia Program on the cognitive functioning among residents in ALFs.
