Socio-emotional well-being is associated with cognitive function and informant-rated cognitive decline: Results from the Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol in Europe.
Article in Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society : JINS, 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
objectiveThis study examines how multiple dimensions of socio-emotional well-being relate to cognitive functioning in older adults, and whether the associations vary by cognitive status, depression, and socio-demographic factors.
methodsData from the Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (
resultsLinear mixed models, with individuals nested within five countries, found that higher life satisfaction, meaning in life, and social connectedness were associated with better cognitive outcomes, whereas greater loneliness was associated with worse performance and greater informant-rated decline. The largest effect sizes were observed for meaning in life (median
conclusionsThe results underscore the importance of socio-emotional well-being in cognitive aging and highlight the need for longitudinal research to clarify mechanistic pathways and inform targeted interventions.
