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

objectiveThis study introduces a novel home-based dual-task platform incorporating augmented reality (AR), COGNIMO, aimed at simultaneously enhancing cognition and physical abilities. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of this intervention in enhancing cognitive and physical abilities in elderly individuals with subjective cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and mild Alzheimer's dementia.

methodsA 12-week observational study enrolled 57 participants aged 60-85 years. Primary outcomes included changes in cognitive scores (Korean Mini-Mental State Examination, 2nd edition [K-MMSE-2] and Korean-Montreal Cognitive Assessment [K-MoCA]), while secondary outcomes measured physical parameters and depression scores between baseline and week 12 in the active and the control groups.

resultsOf 57 participants, 49 completed the study. The active group (≥12 sessions) exhibited significant improvement in K-MoCA compared to the control group (<12 sessions) (p=0.004), while K-MMSE-2 score changes showed no significant difference (p=0.579). Positive correlations between training sessions and K-MoCA changes were observed (r=0.31, p=0.038), emphasizing a dose-response relationship. Subgroup analyses revealed a distinction in cognitive changes, particularly in the MCI group.

conclusionThe COGNIMO platform showed positive effects on cognitive function in MCI patients, suggesting potential benefits for this population. The study highlights the potential of AR-integrated home-based interventions for cognitive enhancement in elderly individuals, underlining the need for further trials in the future.
