[Digital cognitive diagnostics (DiCoDi®) : A tablet-based cognitive test for people with and without hearing loss].

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
backgroundHearing loss in midlife is considered one of the most important modifiable risk factors for dementia; however, standard cognitive tests often fail to adequately detect cognitive deficits in individuals with hearing loss.
objectiveThe aim of the study was to present and evaluate the digital cognitive diagnostics (DiCoDi®), a digital cognitive test designed for individuals with and without hearing loss. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe DiCoDi® comprises 9 subtests, is independent of hearing, can be self-administered and takes 20-30 min to complete. A total of 373 individuals were assessed: 204 control participants (mean age: 67.48±12.2 years, women: 58.0 %) and 173 individuals with hearing loss (mean age: 72.86±8.7 years, women: 46.8 %). Based on a combined cognitive index 2 groups were formed: 314 individuals without cognitive impairment (age: 69.38±12.2 years, women: 54.1 %) and 58 individuals with cognitive impairment (age: 72.93±12.2 years, women: 46.6 %). In addition, a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery was employed.
resultsIn most DiCoDi® subtests there were no significant differences between control participants and individuals with hearing loss. Participants with hearing loss performed significantly better than controls in the subtests "Trail Making A" (
conclusionThe results show that the DiCoDi® can be a valid and reliable tool for the early detection of cognitive deficits in people with and without hearing loss.
