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: Brain training games refer to as the activities designed for the stimulation of several cognitive functions. These games could be carried out through different platforms and can be accessed through smart phones, tablets, computers and other gaming devices. Objective: The objective of this meta-analysis is to determine the efficacy of brain training games on the cognitive functioning, processing speed, and working memory of healthy individuals. Methods: The meta-analysis was conducted by carrying out a comprehensive literature search strategy utilizing several relevant databases such as Pub Med, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. The filters were applied to each of the databases with reference to the pre-defined eligibility criteria. The filters of language (English), publication year (2000-2024), study design (RCT), population (healthy individuals), and outcome variables (processing speed, memory, and cognitive functioning) were applied to identify the studies relevant to the research topic. Results: A total of 16 studies were selected to include in the review. The findings of the study reported that brain training games have reported statistically significant ( Conclusion: Brain training games are effective for the improvement of cognitive functions, processing and working memory.
