The Effectiveness of Compensatory Cognitive Interventions in Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Meta-Analysis.
Article in Research square, 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
Background: Cognitive interventions that incorporate compensatory strategies may be particularly effective for individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). This meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy of compensatory cognitive interventions for individuals with MCI. Specifically, the following were evaluated: (1) the overall efficacy across cognitive outcomes, (2) effectiveness on different cognitive domains, and (3) influence of study-level moderators. Method: Database searches were conducted, and relevant studies were screened for inclusion criteria and underwent data extraction. A meta-analysis was performed across 23 included studies, followed by subgroup moderator and sensitivity analyses. Results: The overall pooled effect size across all cognitive outcomes was Conclusion: Compensatory-based interventions offer small-to-moderate benefits for individuals with MCI, particularly in the domains of memory and attention/working memory. While study-level moderators did not demonstrate significant differences, trends suggest that multicomponent approaches, using both external and internal strategies, and a group intervention format may confer some benefits.
