Racial and Ethnic Differences in the Association between Depressive Symptoms and Cognitive Outcomes in Older Adults: Findings from KHANDLE and STAR.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionDepressive symptoms are associated with higher risk of dementia but how they impact cognition in diverse populations is unclear.
methodsAsian, Black, LatinX, or White participants (n=2,227) in the Kaiser Healthy Aging and Diverse Life Experiences (age 65+) and the Study of Healthy Aging in African Americans (age 50+) underwent up to three waves of cognitive assessments over four years. Multilevel models stratified by race/ethnicity were used to examine whether depressive symptoms were associated with cognition or cognitive decline and whether associations differed by race/ethnicity.
resultsHigher depressive symptoms were associated with lower baseline verbal episodic memory scores (-0.06, 95%CI: -0.12, -0.01; -0.15, 95%CI: -0.25, -0.04), and faster decline annually in semantic memory (-0.04, 95%CI: -0.07, -0.01; -0.10, 95%CI: -0.15, -0.05) for Black and LatinX participants. Depressive symptoms were associated with lower baseline but not decline in executive function. DISCUSSION: Depressive symptoms were associated with worse cognitive domains, with some evidence of heterogeneity across racial/ethnic groups.
