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

This study aimed to calculate stratified normative scores of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) in an adult population in Singapore, accounting for key demographic influences. Demographic data and MoCA scores of 1,103 healthy adults (aged 21 to 97) were obtained from a community health study conducted in central Singapore. Factors associated with MoCA scores were identified using multiple linear regression and β coefficients were used to estimate normative MoCA scores across strata. Model performance was assessed using five-fold cross-validation. Normative reference scores were calculated and stratified by age group, education level, and ethnicity to reflect typical MoCA performance across demographic groups. The final regression model had an adjusted R
