Imputation Procedures for Cognitive Variables in the Mexican Health and Aging Study: Evaluating the Bias from Excluding Participants with Missing Data.
Article in Realidad, datos y espacio : revista internacional de estadistica y geografia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Non-response of cognitive data in cohort studies is a barrier to cognitive aging research. We describe the procedures for the imputation of non-responses for cognitive data in the Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS). Data came from the 2001-2015 MHAS waves. We also describe the association of cognition with education, age, and other variables in 2015 with and without the imputed values. Between 12.3% and 37.9% of participants were missing data for at least one cognition variable. When we conducted the analysis with and without the imputed values, the relationships between education, age, and cognition were similar in direction and significance, but different in magnitude. Non-response of cognitive data is common and non-random in the MHAS. Investigators should use the data sets that include the imputed values, which are publicly available.
