Executive functions, mental health, and quality of life in healthy older adults.
Article in Dementia & neuropsychologia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Population aging brings about numerous challenges, particularly concerning cognitive health. In this context, socioeconomic factors such as education have received special attention due to their role in brain health. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the performance of executive functions, mental health variables, and quality of life among healthy older adults in relation to their level of education. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with participants aged 60 or older. The assessment protocol included Addenbrooke's cognitive examination and FAS, trail-making tests A and B, Control, Autonomy, Self-Realization, and Pleasure Scale (CASP-19), as well as the depression, anxiety, and stress scale. Results: Significant differences were found in the performance of executive functions among older adults with higher levels of education. However, mental health and quality of life variables were only related to participants' age. Conclusion: The study showed that mental health and quality of life are not influenced by participants' level of education but are instead strongly correlated with age.
