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

Existing computerized cognitive tests (CCTs) lack speech recognition, which limits their assessment of language function. Therefore, we developed CogMo, a self-administered CCT that uses automatic speech recognition (ASR) to assess multi-domain cognitive functions, including language. This study investigated the validity and reliability of CogMo in discriminating cognitive impairments. CogMo automatically provides CCT results; however, manual scoring using recorded audio was performed to verify its ASR accuracy. The mini-mental state examination (MMSE) was used to assess cognitive functions. Pearson's correlation was used to analyze the relationship between the MMSE and CogMo results, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate the test-retest reliability of CogMo, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis validated its diagnostic accuracy for cognitive impairments. Data of 100 participants (70 with normal cognition, 30 with cognitive impairment), mean age 74.6±7.4 years, were analyzed. The CogMo scores indicated significant differences in cognitive levels for all test items, including manual and automatic scoring for the speech recognition test, and a very high correlation (r = 0.98) between the manual and automatic CogMo scores. Additionally, the total CogMo and MMSE scores exhibited a strong correlation (r = 0.89). Moreover, CogMo exhibited high test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.94) and ROC analysis yielded an area under the curve of 0.89 (sensitivity = 90.0%, specificity = 82.9%) at a cutoff value of 68.8 points. The CogMo demonstrated adequate validity and reliability for discriminating multi-domain cognitive impairment, including language function, in community-dwelling older adults.
