Conscientiousness mediates females' life span differences in cognitive failures: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Cognitive processing, 2026. 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
Evidence has shown that women experience increased cognitive failures in midlife. At the same time, changes in personality traits may occur with increasing age. This study determines which Big Five personality traits mediate age-related cognitive failures in females. We have adhered to the guidelines of the STROBE Checklist in presenting this research. A total of 215 women participated in the study. The participants were assigned to Early Adults (20-29 years old), Early Middle-Aged Adults(30-39 years of age), or Late Middle-Aged Adults (40-55 years old) groups, and completed the Revised NEO Personality Inventory and Cognitive Failures Questionnaire. Mediation analysis implied that conscientiousness negatively mediated the relationship between age and cognitive failures. This means that with increasing age, higher conscientiousness is associated with fewer cognitive failures. Understanding the role of Big Five personality traits as a mediating factor in the age-cognitive failures relationship could have important implications for interventions aimed at supporting women's cognitive health, well-being, and longevity.
