[Influence of computer-based cognitive training on mobility in healthy older adults : A systematic review].
Synthesis in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2018. 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
backgroundMobility is important and often affected in older adults. Mobility is related to cognitive function, which is associated with age-related decline. Computer-based cognitive training (CCT) is increasingly used to treat such cognitive deficits. Whether CCT also has an effect on mobility is not yet clear.
objectiveThe aim of this systematic review was to identify and evaluate available intervention studies investigating the effect of CCT on mobility-related outcome parameters in healthy older adults.
methodsStudies with CCT interventions with mobility outcome parameters (gait, balance, transfer) as primary outcomes and published up to June 2017 were categorized based on the criteria of the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine (AACPDM) and then systematically evaluated.
resultsOut of 305 identified studies, 11 CCT studies met the inclusion criteria. The quality of these studies was generally high but definitions and effects of mobility outcome parameters were heterogeneous. The most promising mobility outcome parameters that may be influenced by CCT are step length under dual tasking conditions and gait initiation.
conclusionThe use of CCT may have positive effects on mobility parameters. Further studies focusing on this hypothesis as the primary outcome parameter are needed.
