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.

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.

Abstract

With the global population rapidly aging, cognitive decline, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI), is becoming increasingly common. MCI impacts essential cognitive functions like memory and attention, significantly reducing the quality of life for those affected and increasing the burden on healthcare systems. Virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a promising tool for enhancing cognitive rehabilitation by creating immersive and engaging environments. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the usability, acceptability, and preliminary cognitive benefits of VR-based cognitive stimulation exercises for older adults with MCI. The intervention consisted of eight VR and augmented reality sessions over 4 weeks, integrating interactive tasks and 360-degree videos tailored to enhance cognitive flexibility, visuospatial processing, and memory. Forty-five participants enrolled, with 40 completing the full intervention and final postevaluation, and usability feedback was collected from 42 participants, including two who completed partial sessions. Usability was assessed using an adapted System Usability Scale (SUS). Patients rated the VR content (81.9) and headset usability (86.5) highly reflecting strong engagement and comfort. Four healthcare professionals also provided a high SUS score (85.2), emphasizing the program's clinical relevance and feasibility for integration into rehabilitation workflows. Cognitive assessments indicated a modest improvement in Trail Making Test A scores (
