Race, diabetes, and cognitive function: a cross-sectional analysis of intersecting disparities in the NHANES cohort.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 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
Background: Cognitive impairment poses a considerable challenge to public health systems worldwide, and its severity often varies depending on racial disparities. Diabetes, a prevalent chronic disease, is also known to adversely affect cognitive function. However, the interaction between race and diabetes in influencing cognitive function has not been well defined. This study aims to investigate the combined effects of race and diabetes on cognitive function using a demographically diverse group of elderly individuals. Methods: Data were drawn from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2011 to 2014, involving a sample of 2,586 elderly participants aged 60 and above. Multivariate regression models were employed to assess the effects of race, diabetes status, and their interaction on cognitive test scores. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD) test, the Delayed Recall Test, the Animal Fluency Test (AFT), and the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST). Results: Mexican Americans and Non-Hispanic Black people have the most frequent rates of diabetes. Non-Hispanic White people score the highest in all cognitive tests, while Mexican Americans and other Hispanics score the lowest ( Conclusion: This study found significant differences in diabetes prevalence and cognitive performance by race, along with a robust negative correlation between diabetes status and cognitive function. However, the interaction between race and diabetes does not significantly affect cognitive function.
