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

objectivesIndividuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD) are at greater risk for mental health concerns than those without cognitive impairments. We report the implementation of psychological services for patients with MCI and mild AD/ADRD within a large public health-care system in the United States.

methodsPreimplementation process included identifying a clinic champion. Referrals were initially provided by the clinic champion and then opened to the entire Memory Assessment Clinic with predetermined eligibility guidelines. Patients were seen on a short-term basis, using CBT- or ACT-based therapy. Initial sessions were conducted in person; follow-up sessions were in person and via telehealth.

resultsPatients saw an average of a 2.2-point reduction in depression symptoms and a 2-point reduction in anxiety symptoms. Implementation barriers and facilitators are listed in the full-text of the article.

conclusionsThis clinic implementation demonstrates the feasibility of evidence-based psychotherapy clinics within existing geriatric clinics. Future work should examine the impact of CBT and ACT to treat anxiety and depression in patients with these neurocognitive disorders. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Patients with MCI and mild AD/ADRD show a clear interest in psychotherapy services, and initial efficacy data suggest there is a clinical benefit for mental health symptoms.
