Body mass index and cognitive functioning decline: Exploring the relationship.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2024. 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
backgroundCognitive functions may play an important role in the management of obesity by promoting compliance towards lifestyle-related behaviours. This study aimed to identify cognitive deficits among adults and examine their association across different Body Mass Index (BMI) categories in an Indian setting. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study is a cross-sectional survey of a sample attending a tertiary care hospital in northern India. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale was administered as part of an interview schedule to evaluate participants' cognitive performance across eight domains. The responses were analyzed to investigate the association between BMI and total MoCA scores, as well as domain-specific MoCA scores.
resultsThree hundred forty-nine participants, with a mean age of 36.9 ± 10.9 years and a BMI of 26.7 ± 4.6 kg/m2, were recruited. BMI was found to be significantly associated with the total MoCA score, indicating a negative relationship (
conclusionAn association between BMI and cognitive functioning (both overall and domain-specific) was observed, showing a dose-effect relationship. In these cases, visuospatial, attention, language, abstraction, delayed recall, and orientation were found to be affected.
