[Occupation and Risk of Cognitive Impairment and Dementia in People in over 55 Years: A Systematic Review, Spain].
Synthesis in Revista espanola de salud publica, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
backgroundCognitive impairment and dementia are two problems with high prevalence in the elderly population. It is important to identify potentially modifiable risk factors that are associated with them. The occupation developed throughout life could be a risk factor in dementia. The objective was to analyze the association between the principal occupation developed along life and cognitive impairment or dementia in old people.
methodsA systematic review of scientific publications dated between 1990 and March 2014 to find studies analyzing the relationship between occupation and cognitive impairment assessed by the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE). Databases such as ISI Web of Knowledge, PubMed and others, were reviewed. Criteria for inclusion: articles published between 1990 and March 2014, using the MMSE to assess cognitive performance, population over 55 years old, including occupation as study variable as well as cognitive impairment or dementia, written in Spanish, English or French.
results18 articles were selected to review. Five cross-sectional and six longitudinal studies analyzed the association between occupation and cognitive impairment; two cross-sectional and eight longitudinal studies analyzed the association between dementia and occupation. 67% identified a relationship between the type of work and cognitive performance in adulthood.
conclusionsThose who have a predominantly manual occupation throughout life, have an increased risk of cognitive impairment and/or dementia than those with occupations with higher intellectual requirement.
