Synergistic influence of education and marriage on the risk for cognition loss among the older people in China.
Article in Nursing open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 study aimed to prove that both rationality and emotion are indispensable for older people to maintain their ability to live independently during the twilight of their lives. The resilience of older people to dementia were investigated by considering the interactions between educational levels and marriage status.
designA quantitative study was conducted using questionnaires.
methodsFour sociodemographic variables (age, sex, educational level and marital status) were collected from 1,177 older Chinese participants, whose mini-mental state examination scores (MMSE scores) were measured.
resultsA lower educational level coupled with being widowed caused a greater risk for severe cognitive impairment (relative risk [RR] 1.48; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.20-1.82; p < .001) for high-aged older participants (age range: ≥80) than for their low-aged counterparts (age range: ≥60 and <80). In contrast, a higher educational level coupled with being married levelled this age-related risk for cognitive loss (RR 0.91; 95% CI 0.65-1.27; p = .62).
