Neuropsychological correlates of reduced self-awareness of functional competency in persons with subjective memory complaints, mild cognitive impairment, and early probable Alzheimer's dementia.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 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
Older adults with subjective memory complaints (SMC) often underestimate their cognitive and related functional competencies, while patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or early probable Alzheimer's disease dementia (AD) often overestimate their cognitive and functional abilities. We predicted that both cognitive (i.e., executive and memory) and non-cognitive (i.e., affective and motor) test performance of patients would be associated with reduced awareness of their functional limitations. Ten participants with SMC, 16 with MCI, and 10 with probable early AD were compared on measures of self and relatives' perceptions of their daily functional capacities. Reduced self-awareness was behaviorally assessed by subtracting the patient's subjective ratings of their functional abilities from the relatives' (or significant others') ratings of their functional abilities. Reduced self-awareness of functional competencies correlated with measures of language and calculation skills, memory, affect perception and expression, finger tapping movements, and overall cognitive status. The tendency to overestimate functional competences was associated with greater cognitive, affective, and motor impairments.
