Usability and feasibility of INFORMA platform for computerized cognitive stimulation in mild cognitive impairment and early dementia: an 8-week multicenter study.

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
backgroundMild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia represent significant global health challenges requiring innovative intervention approaches. Computerized cognitive training (CCT) offers promising alternatives to traditional face-to-face interventions, providing flexibility and personalized care for individuals with cognitive disorders.
aimsThis study evaluated the usability of INFORMA, a novel software platform based on Cognitive Activation Therapy (CAT), for delivering telerehabilitation to participants with MCI and mild-to-moderate dementia.
methodsA prospective, non-interventional multicenter study enrolled 241 participants (MMSE 20-30, CDR 0.5-1) from 12 Italian Centers for Cognitive Disorders and Dementia. Participants engaged in an 8-week tablet-based telerehabilitation program with weekly supervision. Usability was assessed using the System Usability Scale (SUS), Task Completion Rate (TCR), and Relative Task Completion Time (R-TCT), supplemented by participant and caregiver questionnaires.
resultsOf 219 completing participants (mean age 73.5 years), the mean SUS score was 82.0 (95% CI: 80.3-83.8), with 84% exceeding the usability threshold (SUS score > 68). Mean TCR reached 97.8%, while 70.3% demonstrated improved R-TCT. Higher SUS scores correlated with education and MMSE scores but decreased with age. Satisfaction ratings exceeded 87% for participants and 95% for caregivers. DISCUSSION: INFORMA demonstrated high usability across all educational and cognitive levels, with the hybrid model combining automated exercises and professional supervision being well-received.
conclusionsINFORMA showed significant promise as a user-friendly computerized cognitive stimulation tool, supporting its potential efficacy for MCI and dementia interventions and warranting further therapeutic efficacy studies.
