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

introductionWe examined whether bilingualism was associated with a cognitive advantage among older urban- or rural-dwelling Mexican adults.

methodsParticipants were from the Mexican Health and Aging Study Ancillary Study on Cognitive Aging (Mex-Cog) from urban (

resultsIn urban settings, Spanish-English bilingualism was not associated with cognition in any domain (all DISCUSSION: There was no evidence of a cognitive advantage among older bilingual adults in Mexico. Indigenous bilingual adults performed worse cognitively compared to Spanish-monolingual peers. Further work is needed to understand the linguistic and sociocultural characterization of older Mexican adults to better evaluate bilingualism and cognitive aging.
