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

backgroundEvaluation of cognitive health is an important aspect of clinical care for individuals with neurologic and/or psychiatric conditions. To our knowledge, prior studies have not established normative data for cognitive health among adults residing in the Philippines.

objectiveThis study aimed to adapt a multidomain cognitive testing protocol optimized for cultural relevance and establish empirically derived normative data adjusted for demographic factors using regression-based methods.

methodsWe recruited healthy Filipino adults ages 18-65 years. Study participants underwent a multidomain cognitive testing protocol examining seven neurocognitive domains. We generated normative scoring systems using regression-based methods using age, sex assigned at birth, level of education, and body mass index as predictors. We defined statistical significance as p <0.05.

resultsTwo hundred ninety-six sex-matched participants with a mean age of 40.7 years (SD 12.7) and 10.81 years of education (SD 4.3) completed the multidomain cognitive testing protocol. In all domains, lower age, higher level of education, and female sex were associated with better test performance. For grip strength, male sex and higher body mass index were significantly associated with better performance.

conclusionThis study provides support for a multidomain cognitive test protocol designed for diverse populations. Furthermore, we established normative data for the clinical interpretation of neurocognitive performance in the Filipino population.
