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

Tests to detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI) should have high sensitivity and accuracy. Previously, we reported on a cognitive composition test (CCT) that we developed to detect MCI. In this study, we compared gaze behavior parameters, namely, gaze fixation duration and gaze-shift frequency, during the CCT in participants with MCI and healthy controls (HC) to determine whether these parameters would accurately detect MCI in older adults. Participants performed CCT-A, -B, and -C tasks with varying difficulty levels while wearing eye-tracking devices. Performance time, gaze fixation duration, and gaze-shift frequency were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to assess the identification accuracy. The MCI group was significantly slower in completing the CCT-C task and had a higher gaze-shift frequency into both the sample object space and workspace than the HC group. Gaze fixation duration in the sample object space increased in the MCI group as the CCT became difficult. Our findings indicated that combining the CCT with performance time and gaze pattern improved the accuracy of distinguishing between individuals with and without MCI and that patients with MCI have abnormal gaze behavior during cognitive tasks. Therefore, evaluation of gaze parameters may improve the accuracy of identifying patients with MCI.
