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

Objectives: To compare reaction time parameters and accuracy rates between cognitively normal older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) during the Stroop Color-Word Test, and to investigate how cognitive load modulates performance in MCI. Methods: Speech audio samples ( Results: The accuracy rate of the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( Conclusion: Dominant responses require less processing time, whereas tasks demanding interference suppression elicit slower reaction times and higher error rates. MCI patients demonstrate prolonged reaction times and greater susceptibility to proactive interference compared to controls, highlighting impaired interference control mechanisms. These findings suggest that MCI is characterized by early deficits in dominance inhibition, manifesting as reduced ability to suppress automatic responses and increased vulnerability to cognitive conflict.
