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

Objective This study explores the relationship between subjective memory complaints (SMC) and satisfaction with meaningful activities among community-dwelling older adults. Methods Data were analyzed from 539 older adults without cognitive decline (mean age 74.6 ± 6.1 years, 65.0% female) who participated in a community-based health check survey (Tarumizu Study, 2019). SMC was assessed using four questionnaires, and SMC was determined when at least one of the four questionnaires was applicable. From the Aid for Decision-making in Occupation Choice (ADOC), participants selected meaningful activities. Satisfaction with these selected activities was also evaluated. Satisfaction levels were compared between participants with and without SMC, and the relationship between SMC and satisfaction with meaningful activities was analyzed using multivariate analyses. Results The prevalence of SMC was 63.2% (n = 339). Participants with SMC reported lower satisfaction with meaningful activities compared to those without SMC (p = 0.012). Notably, participants who responded positively to SMC-2 ("Do you forget where you have left things more than you used to?") (p = 0.027) and SMC-4 ("Do other people find you forgetful?") (p = 0.004) had significantly lower satisfaction with meaningful activities. Logistic regression analyses revealed a significant relationship between SMC and satisfaction with meaningful activities after adjusting for covariates (OR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.633-0.996; p = 0.046). Conclusions There is a relationship between SMC and satisfaction with meaningful activities among community-dwelling older adults. Participation in and satisfaction with meaningful activities may play a role in developing effective support for individuals with SMC.
