The Impact of Dual-Tasks and Disease Severity on Posture, Gait, and Functional Mobility among People Living with Dementia in Residential Care Facilities: A Pilot Study.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Gait speed and timed-up-and-go (TUG) predict cognitive decline, falls, and mortality. Dual-tasks may be useful in cognitive screening among people living with dementia (PWD), but more evidence is needed. This cross-sectional study aimed to compare single- and dual-task performance and determine the influence of dementia severity on dual-task performance and interference. Thirty PWD in two residential care facilities (Age: 81.3 ± 7.1 years; Montreal Cognitive Assessment: 10.4 ± 6.0 points) completed two trials of single- (feet apart) and dual-task posture (feet apart while counting backward), single- (walk 4 m) and dual-task gait (walk 4m while naming words), and single- (timed-up-and-go (TUG)), and dual-task functional mobility (TUG while completing a category task) with APDM inertial sensors. Dual-tasks resulted in greater sway frequency, jerk, and sway area; slower gait speed; greater double limb support; shorter stride length; reduced mid-swing elevation; longer TUG duration; reduced turn angle; and slower turn velocity than single-tasks (
