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
Background: Improving cognitive function in healthy older adults is a global concern. Cognitive training delays mental deterioration. The utilization of robots and board games for aiding older adults in cognitive training represents a prominent technological trend and is a subject of meriting investigation. Objective: This study evaluates the acceptability and factors influencing the continuous usage intention of a robot-assisted board game (RABG) for cognitive training in community-dwelling older adults based on the decomposed theory of planned behavior (DTPB). Methods: In this explanatory study, we developed an RABG with six educational modules. The experiences of 126 older adults recruited from northern Taiwan who completed the program were assessed using a DTPB-based questionnaire. Partial least-squares structural equation modeling was used to examine the correlations. Results: The results demonstrate the DTPB's sufficient fitness and 79.9% explanatory power for the continuous usage intention of the RABG, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed structural model. Perceived usefulness positively affected attitude and continuous usage intention, indicating that perceived usefulness is critical in promoting older adults' continuous usage intention. The interpersonal influence was a major antecedent of subjective norms. Self-efficacy affects perceived behavioral control. Attitudes and perceived behavioral control affected users' intentions to use the RABG. Conclusions: Our findings support the applicability of the DTPB in evaluating RABGs for cognitive training in older adults, suggesting its potential integration in future interventions.
