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

With a rapidly aging global population, identifying effective strategies to preserve cognitive health and functional independence is increasingly important. This study investigated the effects of motor and combined cognitive-motor training on cognitive performance and well-being in healthy older adults against a control condition. Participants completed four assessments, each spaced 1 month apart, which served as the control condition. The first two assessments constituted a double-baseline period during which no training was administered. The third and fourth assessments followed the motor and cognitive-motor training phases, respectively, with the order of training counterbalanced across participants. Training was delivered to 23 individuals at home via the rehability telerehabilitation platform, which provided daily serious games targeting motor and cognitive skills. Outcomes were assessed using standardized cognitive tests and validated well-being questionnaires. Sample size was determined a priori assessing the risk of misconclusion, and Bayesian statistics were used to obtain nuanced yet robust results. The study was preregistered. Results indicated that both motor and cognitive-motor training led to improvements in key cognitive domains, including memory (BF
