Normative data of the coding test in Korean middle-aged and elderly population.
Article in Journal of Alzheimer's disease reports. 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: The Coding (CD) subtest is widely recognized as a sensitive and reliable measure of age-related cognitive decline, particularly in processing speed, which is known to be vulnerable in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. However, normative data for middle-aged and older Korean adults, who exhibit wide variability in educational backgrounds, remain limited. Establishing norms that reflect this demographic diversity is essential for accurate cognitive assessment and interpretation. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of age, education, and gender on CD performance in cognitively unimpaired Korean adults aged 50 years and older, and to establish normative data for the Korean aging population. Methods: A total of 534 cognitively unimpaired adults aged 50 to 92 years participated. The CD subtest was administered following standardized procedures. Analysis of variance and hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses were performed to examine the demographic effects on CD performance. Results: Younger age and higher education were associated with better CD performance, with a significant age-by-education interaction, while gender did not show a significant effect. Accordingly, normative data were established for three age groups (50-59, 60-74, and ≥75 years) and three education levels (0-8, 9-12, and ≥13 years). Conclusions: The normative data presented in this study provide a valuable reference for clinicians and researchers to more accurately evaluate processing speed abilities in middle-aged and older Korean adults.
