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
Introduction: Further evidence is required to support the use of a combination of a generalist cognitive screen Addenbrookes Cognitive Exam-III and a specialist neuropsychological driving screen Rookwood Driving Battery to aid occupational therapists in making fitness-to-drive decisions for people with dementia. Method: An exploratory retrospective study was completed for drivers with dementia or mild cognitive impairment living within Scotland. Data were extracted from patient notes of drivers referred to occupational therapy, who had an ACE-III and RDB completed within a 6-month timeframe. Results: The study sample included 98 participants. A significant negative correlation was identified between both assessments. Lower cut-off scores were identified on the ACE-III below which no participant scored Rookwood Driving Battery <6 (Addenbrookes Cognitive Exam-III cut-off = 65), or the upper Rookwood Driving Battery pass of ⩽10 (Addenbrookes Cognitive Exam-III cut-off = 54). A small subset of participants ( Conclusion: The ACE-III is a useful guide for referral to occupational therapy for assessment using the Rookwood Driving Battery and subsequent fitness-to-drive decisions for people with dementia.
