[Factors influencing cognitive decline in living alone by the residence characteristics: A longitudinal study].

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
Purpose: This study aimed to identify the risk factors of cognitive decline in older adults living alone in local communities and to find cognitive nursing methods by the area of residence. Methods: The participants were 164 people living alone for 12 years. The data were analyzed using a generalized estimating equations method. Results: The following factors were identified as statistically significant predictors that increased cognitive decline in older adults living alone: 1) rural areas: age (odds ratio [OR]=1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.01~1.02), low education (OR=1.53, 95% CI=1.13~2.07), number of diseases (OR=1.07, 95% CI=1.01~1.14), 2) urban areas: women (OR=1.27, 95% CI=1.09~1.49), age (OR=1.02, 95% CI=1.01~1.03), low education (OR=1.26, 95% CI=1.14~1.40), body mass index (OR=0.98, 95% CI=0.96~0.99), instrumental activities of daily living (OR=1.02, 95% CI=1.00~1.04), depressive symptom (OR=1.14, 95% CI=1.03~1.25). Conclusion: The older adults who lived alone had different risk factors for cognitive decline depending on their areas of residence. Preventive management for cognitive decline should be presented according to the areas of residence among older adults living alone.
