Early screening of mild cognitive impairment based on eye-tracking technology: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveEarly detection is critical for the effective management of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) in the elderly. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and performance of the eye-tracking–based screening tool for early MCI detection.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted involving individuals aged 60 years and older identified as high-risk for MCI at the Weihai Central Hospital, Weihai, China. Participants underwent the novel screening method, which incorporated an eye-tracking device during a brief digital cognitive task. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the eye-tracking method were calculated in comparison to the reference standard.
resultsA total of 162 participants were enrolled. The eye-tracking–based screening demonstrated an overall accuracy of 92.6%, with sensitivity of 92.4% and specificity of 93.0% in detecting MCI compared to the standard neuropsychological assessment.
conclusionThe novel screening method proved effective for the early detection of MCI in high-risk older adults, offering high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. Its relative simplicity suggests significant potential for clinical implementation as a preliminary screening tool in community and primary care settings.
