Effectiveness of multiple mnemonic strategies for improving verbal memory in older adults.
Article in Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCognitive training is an evidence-based intervention for preserving memory in older adults. The effectiveness of cognitive training varies, depending on the approach used. This study examined the efficiency of cognitive training using multiple mnemonic strategies in older adults.
methodsThis study adopted a pretest-posttest control group design, with all participants undergoing two neuropsychological assessments. The cognitive training program consisted of four 60-minute sessions over a month. In the interventions, participants practiced the mnemonic strategies of elaboration and self-reference. The effect of cognitive training was analyzed using both dependent and independent t tests.
resultsThe mean ages were 69.7 ± 12.0 for the control group (n = 23) and 70.7 ± 5.6 for the intervention group (n = 27), with educational attainment of 11.9 ± 3.2 and 12.1 ± 3.9 years, respectively. Both groups showed an overall improvement in memory tests, but only the intervention group's learning and delayed recall aspects of the verbal memory test remained statistically significant after adjusting for multiple comparisons ( p < 0.00625).
conclusionOur study demonstrates that multiple mnemonic strategy-based cognitive training effectively enhances memory function in older adults and should be regarded as an alternative intervention for older adults.
