Social patterning of cognitive impairment in Colombia: evidence from the SABE 2015 study.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionDementia, an increasingly critical public health concern in low and middle-income countries, is associated with lower socioeconomic status, early cognitive impairment, and elevated dementia-related mortality risk. This study seeks to estimate the prevalence of cognitive impairment, investigate its links with social indicators, and visualize social gradients across different regions in Colombia.
methodsSecondary data analysis from the SABE 2015 survey, multinomial regression analyses, and equiplot graphs.
resultsA sample of 23,694 individuals 60 years or older from Colombia. Higher risks were observed among individuals with dark skin color (OR 1.27; 95%CI: 1.10 - 1.47), lower educational levels (OR 3.01; 95%CI:2.04 - 4.42) and reading illiteracy (OR 2.14; 95%CI: 1.87 - 2.46). Inequity patterns were identified by region of residence and income. DISCUSSION: This study underscores the need for targeted interventions aimed at reducing health inequities. The results highlight the higher prevalence rates of cognitive impairment among socially disadvantaged individuals.
