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

Early detection of cognitive decline may be effective in reducing the adverse impacts of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Given that functional declines precede ADRD evaluation and diagnosis, regular assessments of everyday function are an avenue for detecting cognitive performance changes. While app-based measures of everyday function and cognition are promising tools for early detection, perceptions of these tools' value remain unexamined. This study explored perceptions of an app-based measure of everyday function (i.e., comfort with sharing performance data and perceived utility in healthcare) with community-dwelling midlife and older adults in South Carolina, United States (N = 131, M
