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

This study examines nativity differences in the relationship between living arrangement (living alone, with one other, or with two or more people) and cognitive impairment in older Mexican Americans (≥75 years) with moderate to high cognitive function at baseline. Using 12-year longitudinal data from 1,026 participants in the Hispanic Established Population for the Epidemiological Study of the Elderly, generalized estimating equation models revealed that US-born participants living with one other or two or more individuals had significantly higher odds of developing cognitive impairment than those living alone, whereas no significant association was observed among foreign-born participants, after adjusting for all covariates. These findings indicate that cognitive change over time for older adults in different living arrangements differs by nativity. These results emphasize the importance of considering both nativity and household structure when developing interventions to preserve cognitive function among diverse older adult populations.
