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

This study used a cognitive screening instrument rather than a clinical diagnosis to define screening-defined mild cognitive impairment (screening-defined MCI) in community-dwelling older adults. Smartphone-based instrumented Timed Up and Go (iTUG) assessment using inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors enables quantitative assessment of individual movement components. This cross-sectional study investigated the association between Turn 1 time and screening-defined MCI in 318 community-dwelling older adults aged ≥65 years. Cognitive function was assessed using the Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-J); 177 participants with scores ≤ 25 were classified as having screening-defined MCI, and 141 with scores ≥ 26 as without screening-defined MCI. Turn 1 time was significantly longer in participants with screening-defined MCI than in those without screening-defined MCI (median [IQR], 1.40 [1.20-1.50] vs. 1.20 [1.10-1.30] s;
