Predictors of cognitive decline in 85-year-old patients without cognitive impairment at baseline: 2-year follow-up of the octabaix study.
Article in American journal of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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/rationaleTo determine how many 85-year-old community-dwelling patients with good cognitive performance at baseline maintain this level at 2-year follow-up.
methodsWe realized a longitudinal community-based study including 169 inhabitants. Patients who maintained scores >23 on the Spanish version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MEC) were compared with the rest.
resultsA total of 144 individuals (85.2%) were found maintaining a MEC score >23. Under the combined criteria 110 (65%) presented no new cognitive decline. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that maintaining a MEC score >23 was significantly associated with having a higher MEC score at baseline (P < .001, odds ratio 1.280, 95% confidence interval 1.104-1.484).
conclusionMost oldest-old patients with good cognitive function at baseline maintain this level at 2-year follow-up.
