Cognitive ageing trajectories and mortality of Chinese oldest-old.
Article in Archives of gerontology and geriatrics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
objectiveThis study aims to identify distinctive cognitive trajectories jointly with mortality probabilities and to explore factors related to the particular trajectories of cognitive ageing in China.
method6842 individuals aged 80 years and above from 7 waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey were assessed with the Mini-Mental State Examination for up to 16 years. A group-based trajectory model was used to jointly estimate cognitive ageing and mortality trajectories; and to explore the factors related to membership of the trajectory groups.
resultsA four-group model best fit the data. For all groups, the cognitive function declined with age according to different rates. Group 4, 3, 2, and 1 showed slow (prevalence 52.8%), moderate (31.1%), progressive (12.6%) and rapid (3.5%) cognitive decline, respectively. Mortality probability trajectories followed a hierarchy in consistence with cognitive trajectories approximately. Females, illiteracy, and those born in rural areas were less likely to belong to the most favorable trajectory group.
conclusionsThe heterogeneity of cognitive ageing was identified among Chinese oldest-old. Childhood socioeconomic status, especially education, was associated with the rate of cognitive decline.
