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: Deciding whether to continue driving or transition to alternative means of transportation is a challenging issue for older adults in preventive care settings. This study aimed to identify potential associations between the Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-J) and driving as the primary mode of transport among older adults. Methods: The participants of this cross-sectional study were community-dwelling older adults participating in a long-term preventive care program. Participants were divided into two groups (DRIVING or OTHER) based on their questionnaire response regarding the main mode of transport used when going out, where the OTHER group included all participants who selected any other mode than a car driven by themselves. Cognitive function was measured using 13 MoCA-J tasks. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify associations between MoCA-J results and inclusion in the DRIVING group. Results: Among the 199 participants, 156 were categorized into DRIVING group and 43 into OTHER group. The DRIVING group showed significantly higher task achievement rates than the OTHER group in trail-making, digit span, and phonemic verbal fluency tests. Of these, only the trail-making test results were associated with inclusion in the DRIVING group (odds ratio, 2.82; 95% confidence interval, 1.22-6.51; Conclusions: The trail-making task of MoCA-J may assist health-care professionals in providing driving guidance to older adults.
