CogTale

CogTale automates extraction, cataloging, and synthesis of evidence from cognitive intervention trials to support systematic reviews and meta-analyses in cognitive ageing research.

Key Features:

• Database cataloging: Catalogs methodological features and summary results from cognitive intervention trials.
• Automation of evidence synthesis: Automates several steps within evidence synthesis production.
• Meta-analysis generation: Generates meta-analyses directly from its database.
• Study curation and coding: Codes and uploads research studies into the repository.

Scientific Applications:

• Systematic reviews and meta-analyses: Supports production of systematic reviews and meta-analyses for health-related decision-making in cognitive ageing research.
• Evidence synthesis for cognitive interventions: Synthesizes evidence from cognitive intervention trials to evaluate intervention effects in cognitive ageing.
• Comparative methodological assessment: Enables comparison of trial methodological features and summary outcomes across studies.

Methodology:

Catalogs methodological features and summary results from trials, codes and uploads studies into a repository, automates several steps of evidence synthesis production, and generates meta-analyses directly from the database.
