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

Introduction: Mild cognitive impairment and dementia are often underdiagnosed. Self-Administered Tasks Uncovering Risk of Neurodegeneration (SATURN) is a public domain computerized cognitive screening test developed to address that need. We describe its performance in regular clinical use. Methods: We retrospectively compared scores of SATURN with those from paper-and-pencil screening instruments-the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Saint Louis University Mental Status (SLUMS), and the Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ)-and calculated receiver operating characteristic curves relating each to clinician diagnosis. Results: SATURN was strongly correlated with MoCA ( Discussion: SATURN compared favorably compared with established cognitive screening instruments in regular clinical practice.
