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

backgroundTo assess the long-term (12-month) effects of computerized cognitive stimulation versus stimulating leisure activities in adults with subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

methodsA 12-month follow-up of a single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted in primary care centres in Zaragoza, Spain, including 50 adults aged = 50 years with SCI or MCI. Participants were allocated to one of three groups: the computerized cognitive stimulation group (IG1, n=18), the stimulating leisure activities group (IG2, n=16), or a control group (CG, n=16). The primary outcome was global cognitive function; secondary outcomes included memory, verbal fluency, activities of daily living, and mood. Effect sizes were calculated using bootstrapped partial eta-squared (?2p) Results. At 12 months, significant between-group differences were observed in depressive symptoms according to the GDS-15 score (p = 0.005, ?2p = 0.209) and anxiety levels measured by the Goldberg Index score (p < 0.001, ?2p = 0.295). Both intervention groups (IG1 and IG2) showed sustained improvements in depressive symptoms, while anxiety levels remained stable in the intervention groups and worsened in the CG.

conclusionsParticipation in computerized cognitive stimulation or stimulating leisure activities associates with sustained, long-term improvements in depressive symptoms and levels of anxiety, supporting the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions in primary healthcare.
