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

The economic and disease burden of dementia is forecasted to continue increasing. Considering its cognitive effects, timely diagnosis is important in developing a stage-based treatment plan and gathering data to support advocacy efforts and plan healthcare and social services. Eye-tracking technology has emerged as an efficient diagnostic tool in clinical practice and experimental studies. This review aimed to comprehensively analyze various aspects of eye-tracking technology, including pupillometry parameters, eye movements, eye-tracking devices, and neuropsychological tools. We conducted a systematic review retrieving articles published in the last ten years from six databases. Our results provide a complex overview for each included form of dementia/cognitive decline in terms of patient characteristics (age, sex-disaggregated by included pathologies), inclusion and exclusion criteria, devices, and neuropsychological tools. We also summarized findings on fixation stability tasks, saccadic evaluation, pupillometry, scene perception, object recognition, spatial memory, eye-tracking video tasks, and visual search. The eye-tracking method has become more common in cognitive assessments.
