Changes in executive function in the Canadian longitudinal study on aging over 3-years: A focus on social determinants of health.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2023. 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
Maintaining executive functions, including planning, inhibition, and decision-making skills, is important for autonomy and activities of daily living. There is a growing body of evidence linking social determinants and cognitive aging, but less is known about the potential role of social determinants in changes in executive functioning over time. Using data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA), a large cohort of mid-aged and older adults, we examined changes in executive function over a 3-year period. Specifically, we focused on the role of social determinants (i.e., social positioning, social support, education) in explaining these changes. Executive function was measured at baseline and follow-up 3 years later using the Mental Alteration Test (MAT). We computed a reliable change index (RCI) and used a multiple linear regression model to examine the associations between known correlates and change in executive function over the 3-year period (
