Comparing retrospective informant assessments to prospectively collected cognitive measures in the Health and Retirement Study.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands). 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
introductionClinicians and researchers frequently ask informants about changes in a person's cognition, but whether informant assessments correspond to objectively measured change is unclear.
methodsA subset (
resultsInformant reports of worsened memory were associated with declining word recall, and informant-reported iADL loss was associated with declining iADLs. Informant-reported memory impairment was more strongly associated with declining word recall when informants saw the respondent weekly or more compared to one to three times monthly or less ( DISCUSSION: Informant assessments of memory and iADLs are generally consistent with prospective measurements, but this relationship depends significantly on frequency of informant contact. Highlights: Informant ratings of a person's memory and daily functioning are generally reliable.Quality of reporting depends on frequency of informant contact.Knowing an informant's characteristics is important for interpreting responses.
