The Association of Late Life Cognitive Activity with Healthcare and Financial Decision-Making in Community-Dwelling, Nondemented Older Adults.
Article in The American journal of geriatric psychiatry : official journal of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that late life cognitive activity is associated with decision-making in older adults and to examine whether this association varies by level of cognitive function.
designThis study employed a cross-sectional design.
settingAll data were collected in participants' community-based residences.
participantsParticipants were 1,084 older adults (mean age = 81.05 years, standard deviation = 7.53) without dementia (median Mini-Mental State Examination score = 29, interquartile range = 27.86-30.00). MEASUREMENTS: Participants completed assessments of late life cognitive activity, cognitive function, and decision-making. We used linear regression models to examine the associations of late life cognitive activity and cognitive function with decision-making.
resultsIn a regression model adjusted for age, gender, and education, more frequent late life cognitive activity was associated with better decision-making, as was higher cognitive function. Furthermore, in an additional model that included the interaction of late life cognitive activity and cognitive function, the interaction was significant, such that late life cognitive activity was most strongly associated with decision-making among participants with lower levels of cognitive function.
conclusionFrequent engagement in late life cognitive activity may help maintain decision-making among older persons, particularly among those with lower levels of cognitive function.
