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

Latino migrants are at increased risk for cognitive decline, yet the influence of immigration-related factors, such as time lived in the United States (U.S.), remains poorly understood. In the Boston Latino Aging Study (BLAST), 130 older Latino migrants completed a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment. We examined whether the proportion of years lived in the U.S. was associated with cognitive performance, adjusting for age, education, and acculturation. Greater time in the U.S was significantly associated with lower phonemic fluency, while no associations were found for other domains. Notably, 16 % of phonemic fluency errors involved English intrusions during a Spanish-language task, suggesting cross-linguistic interference. These findings underscore the importance of considering language dynamics and sociocultural context in studies of Latino cognitive aging.
