Busyness, mental engagement, and stress: Relationships to neurocognitive aging and behavior.
Review in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Considerable research identifies benefits of sustaining mental engagement in older adulthood. Frequent social, mental, and physical activities (e.g., exercise) and lifestyle factors that bolster cognitive reserve (i.e., education, occupation complexity) have been associated with cognitive benefits and delayed onset of dementia. Nevertheless, the relationship between general daily levels of busyness and cognition has been relatively understudied. Open questions remain about whether a causal link exists between a busy lifestyle and mental prowess, the relationship between busyness and stress, and methodological approaches to measure and track busyness levels. Here, the existing evidence is considered, along with future directions for research aimed at characterizing the effects of a busy lifestyle on neurocognitive aging and behavior.
