Development of personalized exercogs for older adults care: A feasibility and single-arm study.
Article in International journal of clinical and health psychology : IJCHP. 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
Introduction: The prevalence of mild cognitive impairment and dementia is rapidly increasing worldwide, profoundly impacting older adults' quality of life and presenting significant challenges to healthcare systems. The heterogeneity of pathologies, the lack of customizable and available resources, and the scarcity of healthcare professionals are recurrent issues in aged care facilities. This study aimed to validate Exercogs®, a newly integrated portable exergaming platform designed to enhance cognitive function in older adults within elderly care facilities. Methodology: We conducted two experiments: 1) a feasibility study with 12 healthcare professionals and 30 older adults to assess technology acceptance and usability, and 2) a single-arm pre-post study involving 204 seniors in aged care facilities to explore the potential multidimensional effects of the four Exercogs® (cognitive, affective, social, functional, and quality of life). The intervention was implemented over 12 weeks, with two weekly sessions. Results: The intervention was well-received, with high-acceptance among older adults and healthcare professionals. Adherence was notably high (91.68%) with strong interest in continued use. Significant improvements were observed across multiple domains commonly impacted by aging, including cognition, mood, perceived loneliness, and quality of life, reflecting positive outcomes across all evaluated dimensions. Conclusion: Preliminary results suggest that the Exercogs® is a promising tool to support healthcare professionals in aged care facilities. Future research should include a control group and randomized clinical trials to further validate these findings.
