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

backgroundTurning is an essential and challenging activity in daily life but is not specifically assessed for people with Alzheimer's disease (PwAD). The timed 360º turn test (360TT) is a specific tool assessing turning ability; however, its reliability and validity have not been established in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

aimsTo investigate: (1) the test-retest reliability of the 360TT in PwAD; (2) the standard error of measurement (SEM) and minimum detectable change (MDC) in the 360TT times; (3) the concurrent and known-groups validity of the 360TT times.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 33 PwAD and 32 healthy people. The 360TT was administered along with the Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go Test, and Mini-Mental State Examination. The test-retest reliability of the 360TT was examined by performing it twice at a 7-10 day interval for PwAD.

resultsTest-retest reliability of the 360TT was excellent for the dominant and non-dominant sides (ICC = 0.957 and ICC = 0.916, respectively). The SEM

conclusionsThe 360TT is a reliable and valid method in the evaluation of turning ability for PwAD. Clinicians and researchers can also use the 360TT to quantify changes in turning ability in AD.
