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

Background and Objectives: Despite increasing evidence of the critical impact of modifiable lifestyle factors and cognitive self-efficacy in healthy aging, programs to address these components have been limited for rural-dwelling adults. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and test Research Design and Methods: Following iterative co-creation, implementation outcomes and preliminary efficacy data for BrainHealth 360 were gathered using a mixed-methods convergent design with 40 older adults. Results: High levels of intervention acceptability and appropriateness were tied to themes (self-efficacy, social connection, and applicability) in the context of individualized instruction. Identified barriers included accessibility challenges and aging-related fear. Participants reported increased memory self-efficacy and implementation of selected lifestyle changes and cognitive strategies. No change was detected on an objective measure of cognitive function nor in participants' self-perceptions of the aging process. Discussion and Implications: These results provide preliminary support for the co-design approach to develop context-specific educational interventions for the promotion of brain health among older adults, with future testing warranted to confirm the efficacy of the resulting intervention.
