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

backgroundLittle is known about subjective cognitive decline (SCD) in lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) older adults.

objectivesTo examine SCD and its association with dementia risk factors, other physical and psychosocial health factors in LGBT older adults.

methodsA cross-sectional study of SCD was conducted with LGBT older adults, aged 50 and older (n = 210). SCD was categorized based on endorsement of memory problems and one other cognitive domain. Hierarchical logistic regression examined the associations between demographic factors, dementia risk factors, other health and psychosocial factors, and SCD.

resultsNearly 25% of LGBT older adults were classified as having SCD. LGBT older adults who were people of color (OR = 2.5; 95% CI = 1.1- 7.8), depressed (OR = 2.9; 95% CI = 1.3- 6.9), or reported having functional impairment (OR = 2.6; 95% CI = 1.1- 6.5) were significantly more likely to be classified as having SCD (Nagelkerke pseudo R2 = 0.27).

conclusionDepression and functional impairment should be considered when screening LGBT older adults for cognitive impairment and dementia. Future research on the cognitive impairment and dementia risk in LGBT older adults is needed.
