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

introductionAlzheimer's disease (AD) pathological processes begin decades before symptom onset. Early intervention in high-risk populations may be crucial for prevention. We investigated the effect of an intervention utilizing virtual reality (VR) cognitive-motor training on cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cognitive functioning in middle-aged adults at high AD risk due to parental history.

methodsIn this randomized controlled trial, participants (

resultsAll groups improved in executive functions and memory over time (all DISCUSSION: Cognitive-motor VR training increased CBF in frontal regions susceptible to early AD-related changes in middle-aged adults at high AD risk. This intervention shows promise as a preventive approach and may be suitable for implementation as a home-based program for individuals at high risk.
