Clock drawing test strategies among older adults with and without cognitive impairment.
Article in Dementia & neuropsychologia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In addition to being used as a screening test, the Clock Drawing Test (CDT) has been used to evaluate executive functioning in older adults. Using a new validated scoring method that classifies CDT construction - planning and organizing strategies -, published in a previous article, the strategies used to perform the test in older adults with cognitive impairment were investigated. Objective: Describe and classify the planning strategies used by older adults with cognitive impairment to perform the CDT, using the CDT Strategies scoring method. Methods: The study included 86 older adults, divided into three groups: 45 with mild cognitive impairment, 13 with major cognitive impairment, and 28 controls. Results: The analysis of the results emphasized CDT strategies and the neuropsychological profile of older adults. The subcategories associated with better executive functioning decrease in occurrence as cognitive impairment becomes more pronounced, and the subcategories associated with worse executive functioning increase in frequency. Conclusion: The qualitative analysis proposed by CDT Strategies has clinical utility as a measure of executive functioning.
