Overall, cognitive improvement was numerically greater with XAN than with placebo, though the difference did not reach statistical significance; however, among patients with more severe cognitive impairment, XAN led to a significantly greater improvement compared to placebo.
CAR showed a modest advantage (SMD = 0.20, 95% CI: 0.00–0.40), which narrowly missed statistical significance (Fig. 7 ).
