Preliminary Study of the Utility of the Menu Task in an Acute Care Setting.

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
Objective: To establish the preliminary clinical utility and ecological validity in an acute care setting of a brief functional cognitive screening measure, the Menu Task (MT). Design: Cross-sectional observational study. Setting: Single university-affiliated acute care hospital. Participants: A convenience sample of consecutive general medical patients (N=104) referred to occupational therapy who were not identified as having dementia or delirium and who provided consent. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: MT, Mini-Cog, Activity Measure for Postacute Care (AM-PAC) 6-clicks. Results: The mean age of participants was 70.75 years, and the mean length of stay was 10.17 days. The MT was not significantly correlated with age ( Conclusions: The mean duration of the MT assessment suggests that routine administration by occupational therapists in an acute care setting is feasible and can add information distinct from the basic mobility and self-care data provided by the AM-PAC measures. This study provides preliminary evidence that the MT is sensitive to functional cognitive deficits in an acutely hospitalized population; however, further research is needed to establish the relationship between the MT and postdischarge independent living skills.
