Trial report in BMC geriatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06837493 (Investigation of the Effects of Different Rehabilitation Approaches on Cognitive Functions, Dual Task Performance, and Manual Dexterity in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundGiven the increasing prevalence of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) among the elderly as a precursor to dementia, understanding how targeted interventions can improve daily functioning and delay cognitive decline is critical to improving quality of life in aging populations.

objectiveTo investigate the effects of hand exercises and cognitive training on cognitive functions, hand skills, grip strength, dual-task-performance and interactions in elderly individuals with MCI. MATERIALS AND

methodsA randomized, single-blind study was conducted with 47 participants aged 65 and older living in nursing homes. Participants were divided into hand exercise group (HEG = 15), cognitive exercise group (CEG = 15) and control group (CG = 17). Exercise was applied to HEG and CEG for 8 weeks. Cognitive functions, grip strength, hand skills, motor-motor dual task performance (MMDTP), motor-cognitive dual task performance (MCDTP), motor-motor dual task interaction (MMDTI), motor-cognitive dual task interaction(MCDTI) and Manual Ability Measurement (MAM-36) were assessed.

resultsHEG improved in hand skills, grip strength, MCDTP, MMDTP, and MAM-36, with reduced MCDTI. CEG showed gains in cognition, MMDTP, and hand use (p < 0.05).

conclusionsHand exercises enhance motor and functional ability, while cognitive exercises supports cognitive performance and MMDTP.

trial registrationThe clinical protocol of the study was registered in the ClinicalTrials.gov system, registration number: NCT06837493.
