1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

This study aimed to explore the sex differentials in correlations between functional fitness (FF) and cognitive impairment (CI) in older adults without dementia. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted using 2096 adults more than 65 years of age. The Senior Fitness test and Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) were used to measure FF and cognitive performance. Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) was performed to evaluate the relationships between FF and MMSE. Our results confirmed the relationships between FF and CI, furthermore FF and MMSE were significantly different between men and women (P < 0.05). CCA results showed overall FF was positively correlated with overall MMSE in both men (canonical coefficient = 0.37, P < 0.0001) and women (first canonical coefficient = 0.42, P < 0.0001; second canonical coefficient = 0.17, P = 0.004). Among men, 30s-arm curl and language were most highly correlated with FF and MMSE, respectively. Whereas among women, 30s-arm curl and eight-foot up-and-go were most highly correlated with FF, and orientation and recall were most highly correlated with MMSE. In conclusion, there was a sex difference in the relationships between FF and MMSE, which facilitated generating insight into cognitive performance improvement from the perspective of FF enhancement by sex. Prospective studies are needed to explore the causality between FF and cognitive performance.
