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

Background: The paucity of empirical evidence supporting a correlation between the utilization of household chemicals and cognitive decline in Chinese older adults. Methods: The data utilized for this study originated from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS 2018). Using regression models to investigate the relationship between exposure to household chemicals and cognitive decline, and evaluate the impact of different fields on cognitive function. Results: The use of household chemicals was associated with a decline in cognitive function (anti-caries agent, OR = 1.68, P = 0.040; air freshener, OR = 2.48, P = 0.002; disinfectant, OR = 1.40, P = 0.033). The more frequent the use of household chemicals, the worse the cognitive function (Model1: OR = 2.54, P = 0.024; Model2: OR = 3.23, P = 0.006; Model3: OR = 3.59, P = 0.003). Conclusion: The study has uncovered a correlation between the utilization of household chemicals and cognitive decline in individuals aged 65 years and over in China.
