Functional cognitive performance augments cognitive screening data in older adults.
Article in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Understanding the association of older adults' cognitive ability with performance of instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) is critical to identifying their community health care support needs. We compared differences in performance-based IADL assessment scores among older adults according to their cognitive ability as measured by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Methods: Using data from a larger study we performed a cross-sectional analysis of 259 community-dwelling adults aged 55-93 years. Participants were categorized into one of three groups based on their MoCA score: mildly impaired (19-22), borderline (23-25), or unimpaired (26-30). The Performance Assessment of Self-care Skills Checkbook Balancing and Shopping Task (PCST) and the Weekly Calendar Planning Activity 17-item version (WCPA-17) were used to assess IADL. A MANCOVA analyzed the effect of MoCA group on the performance-based IADL assessments while controlling for education. Results: The MANCOVA was statistically significant, Conclusion: The tripartite group categorization of the MoCA largely parallels ability on two independent performance-based IADL assessments, a subset of individuals borderline or unimpaired on the MoCA had difficulties with complex IADL identified by performance-based IADL assessments indicating comprehensive evaluations of older adults would benefit from including both types of assessments.
