Cognitive life expectancy by educational attainment in Mexican adults aged 60 and older.
Article in Salud publica de Mexico, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo estimate cognitively healthy life expectancy (CHLE), cognitive impairment life expectancy (CILE), and dementia life expectancy (DLE) in Mexican adults aged 60 and older stratified by educational attainment. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe data were obtained from Waves 1 (2001) to 5 (2018) of the Mexican Health and Aging Study. The life expectancy was estimated using a multistate life table analysis.
resultsCHLE at age 60 increased with higher educational attainment and ranged from 17.9 to 24.4 years in female participants, and 17.2 to 21.3 in male participants. The CILE and DLE decreased with greater educational attainment. The CILE ranged from 0.7 to 2.8 years in female participants and 0.7 to 2.6 in male participants.
conclusionsOlder adults in Mexico with higher education live more years with good cognitive health and fewer years with cognitive impairment and dementia. Education has a stronger effect on the length of cognitively healthy life expectancies than on total life expectancies.
