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

Background: The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Basic scale (MoCA-B) is more sensitive than the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for detecting mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (AD). To explore the diagnostic efficacy of the Chinese version of the MoCA-B against the MMSE for post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). Methods: Eighty four patients with acute cerebral infarction were grouped into a post-stroke cognitive normal (PSCN) or a PSCI group based on their scores on the Clinical Dementia Rating scale (CDR), the gold standard for diagnosing PSCI. They were evaluated by using the MMSE and MoCA-B scales, then the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was used for evaluation. Results: Most factors of the MoCA-B were significantly different between the two groups, and the PSCN group completed the MoCA-B faster ( Conclusion: The MoCA-B demonstrates higher sensitivity and negative predictive value compared with the MMSE in the screening of post-stroke cognitive impairment patients.
