1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThe present study aimed to determine the bidirectional relationship between cognitive function and the loss hierarchy of activities of daily living (ADL) among older adults in China.

designData were derived from the Longitudinal Study on Family Caregivers for Frail Older Adults Aged 75 or Above in Shanghai (2010-2013).

settingCommunity-dwelling older adults and their primary caregivers were invited to participate in this research.

participantsThe inclusion criteria for the older adults were as follows: (a) have a Shanghai urban household registration status, (b) be 75 years old or older, (c) have no fewer than two limitations in ADLs or equivalent, and (d) have one primary caregiver aged 18 years or older. 469 older adults cared by their spouses or children were included in the final analytical sample of this research. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Cognitive function was assessed using the Chinese version of the Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire and ADLs were measured by self-reports of having difficulty or needing help with basic daily activities.

resultsCognitive function in 2010 was a significant predictor of intermediate loss of ADLs in 2013 (β=-0.13, p<0.05) and late loss of ADLs in 2013 (β=-0.17, p<0.01). The loss hierarchy of ADLs among older adults was not shown to be significant as a risk factor of cognitive function in 2013.

conclusionsPractitioners are encouraged to adopt the ADL loss hierarchy as a supplementary needs assessment tool to make the social service delivery process more effective, economical and tailored. Cognitive function change monitoring programmes and services providing education on nutrition and encouraging social participation of older individuals were also helpful in promoting the quality of life of the older adults.
