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

objectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the association between elder's cognitive impairment and mortality. Additionally, interaction between cognitive impairment and cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases was considered.

methodsData from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA) from 2006 to 2014 was assessed using 10,026 participants at baseline with no missing information. Chi-square test, log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate the association between cognitive impairment and mortality.

resultsCognitive impairment was significantly associated with mortality. With normal cognitive functioning group as reference: HR=2.329 (p<.0001) for severe cognitive impairment, HR=1.238 (p.009) for mild cognitive impairment. The association remained significant even after considering for cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases.

conclusionThis study provided additional support to previous findings in regards to the relationship between cognitive impairment and mortality. Worse cognitive functioning increased the risk of mortality and the presence of cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases exacerbated this relationship.
