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

The Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test with Immediate Recall (FCSRT-IR), developed by Grober and Buschke, is widely used to assess episodic memory and detect impairments, particularly in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recommended by the International Working Group (IWG) for early diagnosis, no prior review has synthesized its findings. This study reviewed articles on norms, clinical validity, and correlations with neuropathological biomarkers. Sixty-four studies were selected out of 728, covering normative data, clinical validation, and biomarker associations. The FCSRT-IR has normative data from seven countries and shows high diagnostic accuracy for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia, especially AD. In 20 studies, test scores significantly correlated with AD biomarkers. Thus, the FCSRT-IR supports early identification of episodic memory deficits, proving to be a valuable neuropsychological assessment tool.
