Feasibility of assessing cognitive impairment via distributed camera network and privacy-preserving edge computing.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionMild cognitive impairment (MCI) involves cognitive decline beyond normal age and education expectations. It correlates with decreased socialization and increased aimless motion. We aim to automate detection of these behaviors for improved longitudinal monitoring.
methodsWe used a privacy-preserving distributed camera network to collect data from MCI patients in an indoor space. Movement and social interaction features were developed using this data to train machine learning algorithms to differentiate between higher and lower cognitive functioning MCI groups.
resultsA Wilcoxon rank-sum test showed significant differences between high- and low-functioning cohorts in the movement and social interaction features. Despite the absence of data linking each person's identity to their specific level of cognitive decline, a machine learning model using key features achieved 71% accuracy. DISCUSSION: We show that an edge computing-based privacy-preserving camera network can differentiate between levels of cognitive impairment based on movements and social interactions during group activities. Highlights: Movement and social interaction features showed significant differences in high- and low-functioning cohorts.Significant features included linear path lengths, walking speed, direction change and velocity entropies, and number of group formations, among others.Differences were observed despite the presence of healthy individuals and the lack of individual identifiers.Data were collected using a 39-camera privacy-preserving edge computing network covering a 1700-m
