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

Early detection of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) is critical in treating the progression of the disease. Previous studies have shown that ADRD can be detected and classified using machine learning models trained on samples of spontaneous speech. We propose using Voice-Assistant Systems (VAS), e.g., Amazon Alexa, to monitor and collect data from at-risk adults, and we show that this data can be used to achieve functional accuracy in classifying their cognitive status. In this paper, we develop multiple unique feature sets from VAS data that can be used in the training of machine learning models. We then perform multi-class classification, binary classification, and regression using these features on our dataset of older adults with three varying stages of cognitive decline interacting with VAS. Our results show that the VAS data can be used to classify Dementia (DM), Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and Healthy Control (HC) participants with an accuracy up to 74.7%, and classify between HC and MCI with accuracy up to 62.8%.
