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

Research on everyday executive functions in individuals with Down Syndrome (DS) has focused mostly on children and adolescents. The current study examined everyday executive functions in DS adults. 27 DS adults (aged 22.00 to 42.00 years) were tested using the Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult Informant Version (BRIEF-A). Findings revealed that DS adults exhibited greater impairments in Global Executive Composite (GEC), Working Memory, Plan/Organise, Task-Monitor and the Metacognition Index (MI) relative to typically developing adults in the normative sample. Substantial variabilities were found in all everyday executive function abilities among DS adults. Findings highlight the importance of making comprehensive assessments of everyday executive functions in DS individuals in order to identify problem areas and plan individualised support programmes.
