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

aimThe aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for cognitive impairment in older people with diabetes.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 2626 community-dwelling participants with diabetes aged ⩾55 years, living in Beijing, China. The participants were screened for risk factors, including smoking, obesity, hypertension, stroke, coronary heart disease, dyslipidemia, depression, apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype, and low physical activity. Cognitive function was assessed with the scholarship-adjusted Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE): MMSE ⩽17 for iliterate participants; MMSE ⩽20 for primary school graduates (⩾6 years of education); and MMSE ⩽24 for junior school graduates or above (⩾9 years of education).

resultsThe prevalence of cognitive impairment in older people with diabetes was 9.90%. Multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that stroke [odds ratio (OR) = 1.71, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.20-2.43], less than 0.5 h exercise per day (OR = 1.89, 95% CI = 1.37-2.61), and depression (OR = 1.64, 95% CI = 1.06-2.54), but not smoking, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and coronary heart disease, were independent risks for cognitive impairment in older people with diabetes. In addition, being married (OR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.47-0.93) and urban living (OR = 0.33, 95% CI = 0.22-0.48) could decrease the risk of cognitive impairment.

conclusionsStroke, depression, and less than 0.5 h exercise per day were independent risks for cognitive impairment in older people with diabetes, whereas being married and urban living were protective.
