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

Introduction: Reduced physical function has been linked to cognitive decline, yet this relationship remains understudied in the older Brazilian population. This study evaluates the impact of cognitive decline on physical functioning in older adults in Southern Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted with community-dwelling older adults ( Results: Most physical function variables worsened as cognitive impairment increased. The CU group performed significantly better than the MCI- and dementia-range groups in dynamic and static balance, upper-body strength ( Conclusion: Cognitive status influences physical function in older adults. Identifying physical indicators linked to cognitive decline may improve screening efforts in clinical trials.
