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

Background: The Computerized Digit Vigilance Test (CDVT) is a well-established measure of sustained attention. However, the CDVT only measures the total reaction time and response accuracy and fails to capture other crucial attentional features such as the eye blink rate, yawns, head movements, and eye movements. Omitting such features might provide an incomplete representative picture of sustained attention. Objective: This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based Computerized Digit Vigilance Test (AI-CDVT) for older adults. Methods: Participants were assessed by the CDVT with video recordings capturing their head and face. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Stroop Color Word Test (SCW), and Color Trails Test (CTT) were also administered. The AI-CDVT was developed in three steps: (1) retrieving attentional features using OpenFace AI software (CMU MultiComp Lab), (2) establishing an AI-based scoring model with the Extreme Gradient Boosting regressor, and (3) assessing the AI-CDVT's validity by Pearson r values and test-retest reliability by intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). Results: In total, 153 participants were included. Pearson r values of the AI-CDVT with the MoCA were -0.42, -0.31 with the SCW, and 0.46-0.61 with the CTT. The ICC of the AI-CDVT was 0.78. Conclusions: We developed an AI-CDVT, which leveraged AI to extract attentional features from video recordings and integrated them to generate a comprehensive attention score. Our findings demonstrated good validity and test-retest reliability for the AI-CDVT, suggesting its potential as a reliable and valid tool for assessing sustained attention in older adults.
