Remote cognitive training for older adults using tablets: A pilot trial.
Article in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Cognitive decline significantly affects the functional and intrinsic capacities of older adults, highlighting the need for effective interventions. Evidence suggests that mentally stimulating activities, particularly those supported by digital technologies, can promote cognitive health and quality of life in aging populations. Objective: This pilot trial examined the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of Methods: The intervention targeted key cognitive domains including attention, reaction time, memory, language, and executive functioning. Forty-one older adults (aged 60-93), living in nursing homes, participated in a 6-month programme. The tablet intervention group ( Results: Pre- and post-intervention assessments included the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The Tablet group showed a trend towards improved MoCA scores following the intervention, whereas the TV group did not show significant changes. At the post-intervention, the Tablet group demonstrated significantly better cognitive performance compared to the TV group ( Conclusion: The findings suggest that the
