Association Between Cognitive Function and Emotion, Sleep, Frailty, and Nutrition in Hospitalized Patients.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundWith the rapid increase in China's aging population, cognitive impairment in the elderly has become a significant public health issue.
aimsIn this study we performed a cross-sectional analysis to comprehensively investigate the relationship between cognitive function and emotion, sleep, frailty, nutrition, and clinical variables in hospitalized geriatric patients according to age group and sex. We determined the most important risk factors for cognitive impairment.
methodA total of 1121 inpatients were recruited from the Department of Gerontology at the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, China, from August 2023 to April 2024. Cognitive assessment was performed using the Mini-Mental State Examination scale and Montreal Cognitive Assessment. The sleep quality was evaluated based on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and anxiety and depression were evaluated based on the Hamilton Anxiety Scale and Hamilton Depression Scale.
resultsSex and age differences existed with respect to cognition, emotion, and sleep quality. After full adjustment, age, education level, working status, hemoglobin level, activities of daily living, Hamilton Depression Scale, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores were significantly and independently associated with cognitive impairment. DISCUSSION: Geriatric patients with a better mood, sleep and nutrition status, higher education level, and more social engagement performance had superior cognitive function. Interventions, such as valuing education, improving sleep, relaxing emotions, preventing anemia, and adjusting lifestyle, may help prevent the development of cognitive deficits. Elderly and female patients required special attention.
conclusionsVarious factors were shown to contribute to maintenance of cognitive function.
