Effective engagement in computerized cognitive training for older adults.
Review in Ageing research reviews, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Computerized cognitive training (CCT) is a frontline therapy to prevent or slow age-related cognitive decline. A prerequisite for CCT research to provide clinically relevant improvements in cognition is to understand effective engagement, i.e., the pattern of energy investment that ensures CCT effectiveness. Even though previous studies have assessed whether particular variables (e.g., gamification) predict engagement and/or CCT effectiveness, the field lacks a systematic approach to understanding effective engagement. Here, by comprehensively reviewing and evaluating engagement and adjacent literature, we propose a standardized measurement and operational framework to promote effective engagement with CCT targeting cognitive decline in older adults. We suggest that promoting effective engagement with CCT has two key steps: 1) comprehensively measuring engagement with CCT and 2) identifying which aspects of engagement are essential to achieve the pre-specified outcome of clinically relevant improvements in cognition. The proposed measurement and operational framework of effective engagement will allow future research to maximize older adults' engagement with CCT to slow/prevent age-related cognitive decline.
