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

BackgroundLittle is known about the utilization of outpatient support services by people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).ObjectiveThis study aimed to analyze the use of support services by people with MCI compared to people with mild to moderate dementia.MethodsThe data basis is the multicenter, prospective register study 'Digital Dementia Register Bavaria - digiDEM Bayern'. The sample consists of 913 people with cognitive impairment, including 389 with MCI and 524 with mild to moderate dementia. Classification into 'MCI' and 'mild to moderate dementia' is based on the Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment. The use of support services was surveyed using the Dementia Assessment of Service Needs. Fisher's exact test and multiple linear regression were conducted to analyze for group differences.ResultsFour out of thirteen support services are used less frequently by people with MCI than by people with mild to moderate dementia: 'Outpatient care' (
