1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAlthough gabapentin has been increasingly prescribed to older adults, the relation between gabapentin initiation and longer-term neurocognitive changes is not well understood. Thus, this study aimed to examine the association of gabapentin initiation with cognitive and motor function decline in older adult participants with cognitive impairment.

methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted using the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center Uniform Data Set (2005-March 2023). Participants with cognitive impairment at the visit of gabapentin initiation (i.e., index visit) were included. Using the incidence density sampling method, up to nine non-users were randomly selected for each initiator. Cognitive decline over 1 year was defined as any increase in Clinical Dementia Rating global score (CDR

resultsFor the study of cognitive and functional status decline, we included 505 initiators (mean age [SD] 78.8 [7.4]; male = 45%) and 4545 non-users (79.2 [7.6]; 50.1%). For the study of motor decline, we included 353 initiators (78.3 [7.2]; 42.8%) and 3177 non-users (78.5 [7.4]; 48.1%). Gabapentin initiation was not statistically associated with decline on CDR

conclusionsOver 1 or 2 years of follow-up, gabapentin initiation was not associated with decline in cognitive or functional status but was associated with increased odds of falling among research participants with cognitive impairment.
