Health multidimensional evaluation of institutionalized older adults according to cognitive performance.
Article in Dementia & neuropsychologia, 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
The assessment of living and health conditions of the institutionalized older adults contributes to the development of health promotion measures. The high prevalence of cognitive decline in this population leads to unfavorable health outcomes, which can be prevented and managed. Objective: To investigate the health conditions of institutionalized older adults according to global cognitive performance. Methods: Cross-sectional study of institutionalized older adults in Brasília, Distrito Federal (DF) and Salvador, Bahia (BA) using questionnaires on multidimensional health assessment and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Results: Of the 185 residents, 86 were evaluated, with the majority of the sample composed of women and people aged 80 years old or older. Cognitive decline in the MMSE was associated with greater difficulties in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) (62.5%). Lower performance on the MMSE was correlated with longer length of institutionalization (p=0.043), older age (p=0.004), poorer Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) (p=0.087), greater difficulty in ADL (p<0.001), and higher scores on the Bristol scale (p<0.001). Conversely, higher education (p<0.001), better scores on the Mini Nutritional Assessment (p=0.003), larger Calf Circumference (CC) (p=0.036), and Hand Grip Strength (HGS) (p=0.0467) were associated with better performance in the MMSE. Conclusion: The cognitive performance of institutionalized older people is correlated with sociodemographic and health variables. These results are oriented toward the formulation of public health policies and care management.
