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

introductionAlzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD) are increasing globally, including in the United States, but the fast-growing Vietnamese American population remains understudied, with a significant lack of culturally adapted neuropsychological assessment tools. The Vietnamese Insights into Cognitive Aging Program (VIP) addresses this gap as the first longitudinal cohort study focused on this community.

methodsThis paper (1) describes the assessment instruments, including a neuropsychological battery selected for the VIP, and (2) introduces the Translation with Ongoing Adaptation and Improvement (ToAI) framework, an innovative and practical method for culturally informed translation and adaptation.

resultsThe ToAI framework followed a nine-step process: preparation, translation, native-speaker review, VIP team review, external panel review, pilot testing, proofreading, final formatting, and ongoing review and improvement. DISCUSSION: The ToAI framework was efficient, and the ongoing improvement component was particularly beneficial. It is recommended for inclusion in future cross-cultural research involving translation and adaptation processes.
