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

aimTo assess whether the Mini-Mental State Examination, second edition (MMSE-2), scores were associated with the category of functional independence of nursing-home residents and the level of accommodation services they received.

methodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled 248 participants older than 65 residing in five county-owned nursing homes in the city of Zagreb from 2017 to 2019. Cognitive status was assessed with the standard version of the MMSE-2, and the level of functional independence with the modified Barthel scale index. We collected data on demographic, clinical, and social characteristics, including the level of accommodation services (I-III).

resultsMMSE scores were associated with the category of functional independence (χ2=21.11; P<0.001) and the level of accommodation services provided to nursing-home residents (χ2=38.87; P<0.001).

conclusionCognitive impairment should be determined in nursing-home residents to facilitate the planning of long-term institutional care and the implementation of the prescribed standards based on the level of accommodation services.
