The head turning sign "outside the clinic walls" in patients with mild cognitive impairment and dementia.

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
BackgroundIn clinical settings, the head turning sign (HTS) occurs when patients with cognitive complaints turn their head toward the accompanying person seeking assistance. Due to its nature, and unlike other non-canonical neurological signs of cognitive impairment, the HTS is likely to occur in ecological, daily-life scenarios too. However, this hypothesis has not been tested yet.ObjectiveTo assess the prevalence and clinical correlates of the "ecological HTS" (eHTS) in MCI and dementia due to chronic-degenerative etiologies.MethodsThis retrospective cohort included 112 patients with MCI/dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AD;
