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

Background: Financial literacy is a crucial skill for the aging population. However, so far we have no data coming from Greece regarding financial literacy and cognitive and brain correlates in healthy older adults and amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) patients. Methods: In this preliminary study, financial literacy was examined with the Big Three Questions in 15 individuals with aMCI and 15 matched healthy controls. Simultaneous measurements of different regional brain volumes were derived from structural MRI and the cognitive performance was assessed with a number of standardized neuropsychological tests (Rey auditory verbal learning test, clock drawing test trail-making test parts A and B, Boston Naming Test, digit span memory test forward and backward, and verbal fluency task). Results: For the first time, findings suggest lower financial literacy in aMCI compared to matched controls. Spearman correlations revealed that financial literacy correlates with a number of brain volumes (white matter, gray matter, left amygdala, and right frontal medial cortex). Among the cognitive tests, correlations were found only with trail making parts A and B time to completion. Conclusion: The above findings are of importance for clinicians as indicators of need for comprehensive financial capacity assessment of older patients susceptible to financial exploitation.
