Age and IQ Explained Working Memory Performance in a RCT with Fatty Fish in a Group of Forensic Inpatients.
Trial report in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo investigate the effect of a long-term fatty fish intervention on a pure cognitive mechanism important for self-regulation and mental health, i.e. working memory (WM), controlling for age and IQ.
designA randomized controlled trial.
settingA forensic facility.
participantsEighty-four young to middle aged male forensic inpatients with psychiatric disorders.
interventionConsumption of farmed salmon or control meal (meat) three times a week during 23 weeks. MEASUREMENT: Performance on WM tasks, both accuracy and mean reaction time, were recorded pre and post intervention.
resultsPerformance on a cognitive functioning tasks taxing WM seemed to be explained by age and IQ.
conclusionFatty fish consumption did not improve WM performance in a group of young to middle aged adults with mental health problems, as less impressionable factors such as aging and intelligence seemed to be the key components. The present study improves the knowledge concerning the interaction among nutrition, health and the aging process.
