Effects of gender, education, contact with older adults and health-related jobs on memory control beliefs across the lifespan.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This work sheds light on which of the commonly studied variables explain presence of negative beliefs about memory in a sample of 1,673 participants (range: 12-96 years), using the Memory Controllability Inventory (MCI) and the Aging Concern Scales (ACS). A factor analysis of the MCI and ACS revealed a five-factor structure. Of these five, three presented adequate reliability indices: memory improvement, present ability and Alzheimer's likelihood. The results showed that there are generational differences in the relationship of these factors to variables such as gender, educational level and the quality and frequency of contact with the elderly, with the frequency of contact with older people being one of the variables most associated with the three MCI and ACS factors, especially in the younger age groups. This work shows the importance of positive contact with older people in generating positive memory control beliefs. Finally, we discuss the importance of positive beliefs in clinical care for older adults.
