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

Objectives: To examine whether social activity participation moderates the association between age and cognitive function in U.S. adults aged 50 and older. Methods: We analyzed data from the 2016 and 2018 waves of the HRS ( Results: The sample was predominantly female (55.6%) and White/Caucasian (80.3%), with an average age of 66 years. Age was negatively associated with cognitive performance (β = -.089), while social activity participation was positively associated (β = .127). A significant interaction (β = .004, Discussion: This large, population-based study suggests that greater social activity is associated with higher cognitive performance and may help explain variation the inverse relationship between age and cognition. While causality cannot be inferred, results highlight the relevance of social engagement in understanding cognitive patterns in adults. Future research should examine these findings persist longitudinal designs.
