Cognitive profiles in older adults with psychotic disorders: Results from routine clinical assessments.

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
Objectives: Cognitive impairment is common in older adults with psychotic disorders; however, few studies have examined their performance on widely used cognitive screening tools. This study aimed to characterize the cognitive profile of this population using four commonly administered instruments: the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Modified Mini-Mental State (3MS), the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and the Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB). Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 77 adults aged ≥60 years with a diagnosed psychotic disorder underwent cognitive assessment using the MMSE, 3MS, MoCA, and FAB. Demographic and clinical data were also collected, including psychiatric symptom severity (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale; PANSS), functional status (Specific Level of Functioning Scale; SLOF), and education level. Results: Median scores were 28/30 (MMSE), 92/100 (3MS), 22/30 (MoCA), and 15/18 (FAB). Cognitive deficits were most prominent in delayed recall, verbal fluency, inhibitory control, abstraction, and visuospatial function. Principal component analysis revealed strong positive correlations among cognitive performance, educational attainment, and functional capacity. PANSS total and negative symptom scores were negatively correlated with MMSE, 3MS, and FAB scores. No distinct cognitive subgroups were identified, suggesting a relatively homogeneous cognitive profile across the sample. Conclusions: Older adults with psychotic disorders exhibit consistent impairments across specific cognitive domains. Familiarity with these patterns may help clinicians distinguish typical cognitive changes in this population from atypical profiles that warrant further investigation, including referral to geriatric psychiatry or memory clinics.
