Trajectories of physical functioning among US adults with cognitive impairment.
Article in Age and ageing, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04922320 (Effect of Patient Priorities Care Implementation in Older Veterans With Multiple Chronic Conditions), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundphysical functioning impairment is common among persons with cognitive impairment, but little is known about physical functioning trajectories across the US population or how trajectories may differ among persons with dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
objectiveto examine trajectories of physical functioning among persons with MCI and dementia in the USA.
designwe used data from the National Health and Aging Trends study (NHATS) 2011-18. Physical functioning was assessed using the NHATS Expanded Short Physical Performance Battery.
participantsthe 661 individuals with MCI and 980 individuals with dementia were included in this study.
methodswe applied group-based trajectory models to identify latent groups and estimate their trajectories. Multinomial logistic regressions were applied to examine relationships between sociodemographic and health characteristics and trajectory group memberships.
resultsboth MCI- and dementia-specific trajectories differed at baseline levels and declined at varying rates across groups. Approximately, 78.43% of persons with MCI were in trajectories with a moderate rate of decline, with only 9.75% in a trajectory with good physical function and 11.82% with poor physical function without as much change over time. Among persons with dementia, approximately 81.4% experienced moderate or fast declines, and 18.52% with virtually no functional ability remained at this same low level. Worse physical functioning trajectories were found among persons who were females, Blacks, with at least four comorbidities, and among persons who had a low socioeconomic status.
conclusionspersons with both dementia and MCI experienced steady declines in physical functioning. Socioeconomically disadvantaged groups have worse physical functioning trajectories.
