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

Models of personality and health emphasize the role of Five-Factor Model personality traits (particularly neuroticism and conscientiousness) in cognitive health outcomes. A complementary literature on lifecourse models of cognitive aging indicate that earlier life factors (socioeconomic status, adverse childhood experiences, childhood health) are critical for later life cognitive function and dementia risk. There is growing evidence that these earlier life factors also contribute to adult personality. The present review integrates models of personality and health into lifecourse models of cognitive aging and posits personality traits as central mechanisms between earlier life factors and cognitive health. Development of a more detailed lifespan model will help identify chains of risk and resilience to promote better late-life cognition, health, and well-being.
