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

Cognitive aging, the expectable changes in cognitive abilities with age, can impair the capacity to manage everyday demands, result in the need for care or resemble dementia. Therefore, age-related mental changes should be considered as well as physical changes in preparing for aging and accompanying old people. Based on reviews in cognitive psychology, expectable age-related changes in relevant cognitive domains for everyday management, such as intelligence, memory and social cognition as well as the resulting effect on decision-making and executive functioning are summarized. The flexibility of thinking declines; actions focus on exploitation rather than necessary exploration of resources as evidenced, for example, by clinging to routines for managing everyday demands that are no longer adequate or resisting necessary changes such as the use of assistive technologies. Personal and social resources can balance these changes and promote a self-determined lifestyle. Examples such as the use of structured self-observation or of lasting power of attorney, information provision, counselling and relationship-building demonstrate how knowledge on cognitive aging can be transferred to integrative assistance for old persons.
