Prevalence of Self-reported Cognitive Impairment Among Arab American Immigrants in the United States.
Article in Innovation in aging, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesStudies evaluating self-reported cognitive impairment among Arab American immigrants have not been conducted. Our objective was 2-fold: (a) to estimate and compare the age- and sex-adjusted prevalence of self-reported cognitive impairment between Arab American immigrants and U.S.- and immigrant non-Hispanic Whites, non-Hispanic Blacks, Hispanics and non-Hispanic Asians and (b) to examine associations between race, ethnicity, nativity status, and cognitive impairment among Arab American immigrants and non-Hispanic Whites (U.S.- and foreign-born) after controlling for explanatory factors. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsWe used 18 years (2000-2017) of National Health Interview Survey data (
resultsThe age- and sex-adjusted prevalence of self-reported cognitive impairment was significantly higher among Arab American immigrants (9.7%) compared to U.S.-born and non-Hispanic White immigrants (~7.4%). DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: This is the first study to indicate that ethnic disparities in self-reported cognitive impairment may extend to Arab American immigrants. Additional studies need to be conducted to better understand the prevalence of cognitive impairment.
