Leisure Activity Interventions on Cognition in Mild Cognitive Impairment Patients: A Meta-Analysis.
Review in Neuropsychiatric disease and treatment, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Cognitive impairment has gradually become a serious social problem that endangers the normal life of elderly individuals. Traditional cognitive rehabilitation training (TCRT) is limited by family economic and medical insurance policies, making it difficult to sustain long-term rehabilitation training for patients with cognitive impairments. Leisure activities, as simple, efficient, and convenient intervention therapies, have been used for the rehabilitation of patients with cognitive impairment, but specific effects have not been reported. This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials evaluated the efficacy of leisure activity intervention versus TCRT control on cognitive function in patients with varying degrees of cognitive impairment. As of December 10, 2024, literature searches were conducted on PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Controlled Trials Registry, and related databases. The PEDro scale was used to assess the risk of bias. A total of 20 randomized controlled trials (n = 1126) used mahjong, poker, VR, or other games. The results revealed that leisure activity intervention improved overall cognitive function (MOCA,
