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
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a high-risk state for dementia, marked by cognitive decline with preserved daily functioning. Combined physical and cognitive activity (PA+CA) programs show promising benefits for MCI patients. Involving adult children through intergenerational approaches may enhance participation and impact, yet little is known about tailoring such programs to both generations' needs. This study aimed to (1) identify cognitive, physical, and psychosocial challenges experienced by MCI patients, and (2) explore the needs, preferences, barriers, and facilitators regarding participation in an intergenerational PA+CA program. A mixed-methods design combined a scoping review of 45 studies with eight semi-structured interviews involving eight MCI patient-adult child dyads. Results highlight challenges such as memory loss, fatigue, social withdrawal, and a desire for meaningful, safe, and structured activities. Barriers included overload, physical limitations, and time constraints; facilitators involved routine, emotional support, and family connection. Findings offer guidance for designing effective intergenerational PA+CA programs. HIGHLIGHTS: A scoping review and interviews identified key challenges in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) across domains. Physical, cognitive, and psychosocial needs were mapped for MCI patients and their children. Barriers to participation included cognitive overload, low motivation, and time constraints. Facilitators included emotional safety, routine, and meaningful family connection. Findings support the design of tailored, intergenerational combined physical and cognitive support programs for MCI.
