The association between stereoscopic vision and cognitive function on community-dwelling older adults: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundVisual impairment is associated with cognitive dysfunction in older adults; however, a relationship between stereopsis and cognitive function remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between stereopsis and cognitive function in community-dwelling older adults.
methodsA cross-sectional analysis was conducted with data of 1,228 participants aged 74-88 years from the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study. Cognitive function was assessed by the Korean version of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Packet (CERAD-K). Stereoscopic vision was measured using the Titmus Fly test and recorded in 3 categories according to the angle of stereopsis. Multiple regression analyses were used to investigate the association between stereopsis and cognitive function.
resultsTotal 565 men and 663 women were included. Stereopsis was associated with education, residence, and visual acuity (p <.05). Participants with poor and moderate stereopsis were more likely to have cognitive dysfunction than participants with good stereopsis. Poor stereopsis was negatively associated with cognitive function scores in word list memory, word list recall, Trail Making Test-A errors, Trail Making Test-A response time and frontal assessment battery (p <.05). Compared to good stereopsis group, moderate (odds ratio [OR] = 1.60; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.08-2.36) and poor (OR = 1.85; 95% CI = 1.24-2.76) stereopsis groups had a higher risk of cognitive impairment even after controlling for several covariates.
conclusionsPoor stereopsis was associated with cognitive dysfunction and had increased odds for cognitive impairment. Our findings suggest a cross-sectional association between stereopsis and cognitive dysfunction in community-dwelling older adults.
