Prevalence and risk factors of mild cognitive impairment in a tertiary care setting in Turkey.
Article in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundMild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an intermediate stage between healthy cognition and dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease. There is limited information on the prevalence of MCI among older Turkish adults. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of MCI in Turkey. MATERIAL AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with community-dwelling older people who were admitted to a tertiary geriatric outpatient clinic. Information on demographics and clinical variables was obtained. We used a neuropsychological battery to assess the cognitive domains in each subject. Participants who fell below 1.5 standard deviations on 1 or more of the 5 cognitive tests were considered MCI and were classified as either single domain MCI and multiple domain MCI. Risk factors were determined using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.
resultsA total of 259 participants were enrolled in this study. The mean age was 74.0 years (SD 7.1 years), 54% were women, and 48.3% had a low level of education (≤ 5 years). The overall prevalence of MCI was 52.1%, with 27.8% for single domain MCI and 24.3% for multiple domain MCI. The prevalence of MCI increased with age: 16.4% aged 65-74 years, 32.0% aged 75-84 years, and 40.9% ≥ 85 years. Advanced age and low educational level were risk factors for both single domain MCI (OR = 1.07; 95% CI: 1.02-1.13; p = 0.003 and OR = 3.18; 95% CI:1.7-6.1; p < 0.001) and multiple domain MCI (OR = 1.1; 95% CI:1.1-1.2; p < 0.001 and adjusted OR = 11.9; 95% CI:5.1-27.8; p < 0.001).
conclusionMCI was common in older Turkish people admitted to a tertiary hospital, especially in those with advanced age and low educational level.
