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

Clinical identification of early neurodegenerative changes requires an accurate and accessible characterization of brain and cognition in healthy aging. We assessed whether a brief online cognitive assessment can provide insights into brain morphology comparable to a comprehensive neuropsychological battery. In 141 healthy mid-life and older adults, we compared Creyos, a relatively brief online cognitive battery, to a comprehensive in person cognitive assessment. We used a multivariate technique to study the ability of each test to inform brain morphology as indexed by cortical sulcal width extracted from structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI).We found that the online test demonstrated comparable strength of association with cortical sulcal width compared to the comprehensive in-person assessment.These findings suggest that in our at-risk sample online assessments are comparable to the in-person assay in their association with brain morphology. With their cost effectiveness, online cognitive testing could lead to more equitable early detection and intervention for neurodegenerative diseases.
