Does Dosage Drive Durability? A Longitudinal Study on Digital Cognitive Training for Sustained Functional Independence.
Trial report in Geriatrics & gerontology international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03911765 (Effect of Digital Cognitive Training on the Functionality of Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate whether a higher cumulative dose of digital cognitive training leads to greater and more sustained improvements in cognition and functionality among older adults with Mild Neurocognitive Disorder.
methodsWe recruited participants aged 60 or older with mild neurocognitive disorder to a double-blinded, randomized, stepped wedge clinical trial of digital cognitive training (DCT) compared to an active control group of commercial computer games. Participants were evaluated for functionality and cognition before, after 10 h and 20 h of intervention and in the follow-up.
resultsSixty-seven participants completed DCT and were evaluated. The group that received 20 h of DCT showed significant improvements in functionality and satisfaction, as well as gains in processing speed, verbal fluency, and inhibitory control. The 10 h group also showed improvements in specific areas such as processing speed and recognition. In the 20 h group, the benefits were maintained at 3- and 6-month follow-ups, especially in functionality. DISCUSSION: This study suggests that a higher cumulative dose of DCT may lead to more sustained improvements in functionality performance among older adults with mild neurocognitive disorder. Findings highlight the need for further research to determine optimal training dosage for long-term improvements in cognition and functionality.
