Prevalence of cognitive impairment and its related factors among Chinese older adults: an analysis based on the 2018 CHARLS data.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Background: Cognitive impairment is a major public health concern in aging societies. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of cognitive impairment and its associated factors among Chinese adults aged 60 years and older using data from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Methods: Utilizing data from the 2018 wave of CHARLS, we assessed participants' cognitive status using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and the influencing factors related to cognitive impairment were analyzed by using the chi-square test and multifactor logistic regression. The prevalence of cognitive impairment was stratified by gender, education level, residence, marital status, daytime napping, and nighttime sleep duration, and the trend of cognitive impairment prevalence with age was observed. Results: 9,804 participants were finally included in the study and the overall prevalence of cognitive impairment was 44.04% (95%CI, 43.02-45.06%). The prevalence was significantly higher in females (50.8%) than males (37.1%), and increased with age, from 41.5% in those aged 60-64 years to 57.7% in those aged ≥75 years. Lower educational level, rural residence, and being divorced/ widowed/unmarried were associated with a higher prevalence of cognitive impairment (all Conclusion: Cognitive impairment is highly prevalent among older adults in China with substantial demographic disparities. Targeted interventions and public health strategies are needed to promote cognitive health in this rapidly aging population.
