Neural signatures of dual-task walking demands in individuals at risk of cognitive impairment.
Article in npj aging, 2026. 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
Difficulties in complex daily activities are a hallmark of dementia syndromes. We examined neural signatures of complex daily activity using electroencephalography in forty-five older adults performing a dual-task walking paradigm. Participants were stratified by risk of cognitive impairment (CI). Brain activation linked to gait-related and cognitive events was recorded during single- and dual-task conditions. We hypothesized that a higher risk of CI is associated with poorer performance and distinct fronto-parietal activation during dual-task walking. Cognitive performance declined during walking, with individuals at higher risk of CI performing worse. Increased brain activity during the cognitive task was associated with a lower risk of CI. Both groups showed increased gait-related activation of sensorimotor and fronto-medial cortices during dual-task walking; however, greater sensorimotor activation was observed in individuals at higher risk of CI. Neural signatures of complex daily activity may help identify early signs of cognitive decline and inform prevention strategies.
