Severity of memory impairment in the elderly: Association with health care resource use and functional limitations in the United States.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04841668 (Gut-Brain-axis), which is not on this map. Cited by 23 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
introductionDementia is a prevalent condition in older adults associated with decline in cognitive and functional abilities and substantial burden. This study assessed the prevalence and impact of subjective memory impairment in the United States.
methodsThe 2011 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a population-based, nationally representative survey, was analyzed. Data included medical examinations, self-reported cognitive and functional limitations, and health care utilization over 1 year. Participants were aged ≥65 years and completed both interview and medical examination components. Descriptive analyses of patient characteristics were performed, and complex survey regression models were used to test associations.
resultsOf 2431 survey participants included, 53.1% had no memory impairment, 40.1% had early-stage memory impairment, and 6.6% had late-stage memory impairment. In adjusted analyses, late-stage versus no impairment was associated with more functional limitations (odds ratio [OR] = 7.26, DISCUSSION: Consistent with previous research, individuals with late-stage memory impairment had significantly greater functional limitations and higher health care utilization versus individuals with early-stage or no memory impairment.
