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

objectivesSubjective cognitive decline (SCD) is an early indicator of cognitive impairment and dementia risk. Sleep quality, essential for cognitive health, often deteriorates with age. Intraindividual changes in sleep quality may be linked to concurrent changes in subjective cognition; this dynamic 'coupling effect' could inform strategies for prevention before objective impairments emerge but remains unexamined longitudinally. We investigated this interplay in older adults over multiple years.

methodUtilizing the 'nlme' R package, we analyzed nine waves of sleep quality and subjective cognition data from the Transitions in Health and Relationships study (

resultsMultilevel models indicated changes in sleep quality were positively associated with concurrent changes in subjective cognition, independent of baseline sleep quality, and sociodemographic covariates.

conclusionFindings highlight the importance of monitoring within-person sleep quality changes as a potential indicator of SCD in older adults. Further studies may help identify pathways to support cognitive health in aging populations.
