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

Background: Cognitive impairments have been reported among disadvantaged populations. Objective: We aimed to ascertain how demographic factors are associated with cognitive performance in individuals enrolled in a local substance abuse recovery program. Methods: In total, 106 participants were included in the study. Besides demographic information, vital signs and cognitive function, measured by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) or Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), were collected from each participant. Welch's t-test and regression analysis were used to analyze how different demographic factors are associated with cognitive assessment scores. Results: The mean age of African American (AA) participants (n = 43) were 48.35 ± 1.65 years, which are older than that for the White participants of 38.95 ± 1.36 (n = 63) years. Compared to the AA participants, the White participants had a larger variance in attained education levels. The average MMSE scores were 27.09 ± 0.40 for AA participants, which is lower than that for the White participants of 28.52 ± 0.33 ( Conclusions: Significant disparities in cognitive performance exist between two racial groups of enrolled in a local substance abuse recovery program. The older age and lower levels of attained education in AA participants can explain the poorer cognitive function than the White participants.
