Effects of a digital visual art learning intervention in healthy older adults: a pilot randomized controlled trial.
Article in Frontiers in aging, 2025. 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
Introduction: This study aimed to examine the effects of a digital visual art learning intervention on the cognitive and psychological functions of healthy older adults with no prior experience in art. Methods: An open-label pilot randomized controlled trial was conducted, with participants (mean age = 69.43 ± 2.70 years) aged 65 to 74 assigned to either an intervention (n = 37) or control (n = 35) group. Cognitive and psychological functions were assessed before and after 20 sessions of digital visual art learning. In each session, participants mainly worked on lectures and prepared tasks related to basic themes in art. In the final stage, each participant engaged in individual creative activities and aimed to complete their works. Results: In the Frontal Assessment Battery, which evaluates frontal lobe function, a significant trend was observed in the interaction between group and time (p = 0.062), and although an improvement trend was observed in the intervention group, the change did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: These findings suggest that digital art could potentially enhance executive function in older adults, providing important insights into its applicability within this population.
