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.

Abstract

backgroundOlder Chinese Americans are at high risk of dementia, yet they often do not access culturally relevant services/programs to reduce their risks due to issues such as language barriers and transportation. BrainHQ is a mobile-based, effective cognitive training program that can potentially address these barriers and delay cognitive decline in older Chinese Americans.

objectiveWe aim to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a mobile-based cognitive training intervention co-designed by older Chinese Americans and their adult children.

methodsWe applied an experience-based co-design approach that leverages existing cognitive training features and older Chinese Americans' prior knowledge, lived experiences, and social norms around dementia to co-develop a cognitive training intervention. We conducted an experience-based co-design workshop with Older Chinese Americans (n=10), and their adult children (n=4) to optimize the cultural and linguistic relevance of the cognitive training intervention. Participants used a journey map to brainstorm challenges they may experience when participating in the intervention. Then, the participants created prototypes of intervention components to address these challenges. Finally, we incorporated these prototypes into the co-designed intervention protocol. A total of 30 participants will be recruited into the intervention study and will be randomly assigned to the intervention or waitlist control group (2:1 ratio). The intervention group will complete the mobile-based cognitive training for between 10 and 15 minutes daily for 12 weeks. The primary outcomes are feasibility and acceptability. Global cognition, mental health, physical functioning, and quality of life will be assessed at baseline, 8, and 12 weeks.

resultsThis pilot trial received institutional review board approval (Pro00109934l) in November 2024. We enrolled the first participant in December 2024 and aim to complete enrollment by May 2025. We expect to complete all data collection by September 2025. We will analyze the data and report study findings by February 2026.

conclusionsThis study leverages partnerships with academic, industry, and community stakeholders and provides the groundwork for a large-scale randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of a mobile-based cognitive training intervention for older Chinese Americans. The co-design workshop served as a feasible, innovative approach to engage with the participants and improve the study design. These findings will enhance the culturally tailored delivery of cognitive training to older Chinese Americans and provide insights for broader implementation, improving their engagement in dementia research.
