Mentes ativas (active minds): effects of a remote cognitive stimulation program.

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
With population aging, the prevalence of cognitive deficits increases, highlighting the importance of nonpharmacological interventions for promoting mental health in older adults. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a remote cognitive stimulation program ( Methods: The initial sample included 56 participants enrolled in the USP 60+ program at the School of Arts, Sciences, and Humanities of the University of São Paulo. For the final analyses, 22 participants who completed at least 80% of the sessions over a six-month period were assessed. Assessments included the Geriatric Depression Scale, Geriatric Anxiety Inventory, Cognitive Function Instrument, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. Data were collected at baseline and post-intervention and analyzed using non-parametric statistical tests. Results: There was a significant reduction in perceived subjective cognitive decline (mean score from 4.07 to 3.07; p=0.005) and in depressive symptoms (3.55 to 2.32; p=0.046), as well as a decrease in anxiety symptoms (5.88 to 3.95) and slight improvement in life satisfaction (7.59 to 7.95), although not statistically significant (p=0.132). Significant correlations were found among greater perceived cognitive decline, both depressive and anxiety symptoms, and with lower life satisfaction. Conclusion: The
