Cognitive function and dementia risk factors among older people in nursing homes: An observational cohort study in Medan, Indonesia.
Article in Belitung nursing journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background: Indonesia's rapidly aging demographic presents significant challenges, particularly in dementia among older people in resource-limited settings, such as nursing homes. However, there are limited reports on the deterioration of cognitive function and risk factors of dementia among older people in nursing homes. Early identification of dementia is essential for timely intervention and management. Objective: This study aimed to investigate and follow up on the cognitive function and risk factors of dementia among older people living in nursing homes. Methods: An observational cohort study was conducted over 6 months (April to October 2024) involving 162 participants from government ( Results: Older individuals did not differ in terms of gender, age, education, or length of stay. However, residents of the private nursing home had significantly higher physical activity levels ( Conclusion: Dementia screening can enhance care planning for age-related cognitive impairment by enabling early identification and management. Early detection allows nurses to implement more effective care strategies. Additionally, higher physical activity levels were associated with better cognitive function, highlighting a modifiable factor that may help maintain cognitive health among older adults in nursing homes.
