Association between motoric cognitive risk syndrome and future falls among Chinese community-dwelling elderly: A nationwide cohort study.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundMotoric Cognitive Risk syndrome (MCR), known as the predementia stage, is characterized by both subjective cognitive complaint (SCC) and slow gait. This study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between MCR, its components, and falls.
methodsParticipants aged ≥ 60 years were selected from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. SCC was determined by participants' responses to the question "How would you rate your memory at present?" with "poor" being the indicative answer. Slow gait was defined as one standard deviation or more below age- and gender-appropriate mean values of gait speed. MCR was identified when both SCC and slow gait were presented. Future falls were investigated by the question "have you fallen down during follow-up until wave 4 in 2018?" Logistic regression analysis was performed to test the longitudinal association of MCR, its components and future falls during the following 3 years.
resultsOf 3748 samples in this study, the prevalence of MCR, SCC, and slow gait was 5.92%, 33.06%, and 15.21%, respectively. MCR increased the risk of falls during the following 3 years by 66.7% compared to non-MCR after controlling for covariates. In the fully adjusted models, with the healthy group as reference, MCR (OR = 1.519, 95%CI = 1.086-2.126) and SCC (OR = 1.241, 95%CI = 1.018-1.513), but not slow gait, increased the risk of future falls.
conclusionsMCR independently predicts future falls risk in the following 3 years. Measuring MCR can be a pragmatic tool for early identification of falls risk.
