Resilience Shields and Grit Intensifies Subjective Cognitive Decline in Middle-To-Older Aged Black Americans.
Article in International journal of geriatric psychiatry, 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
backgroundThere is growing interest on the relationship between psychosocial factors and cognitive health trajectories in adulthood. While grit and resilience have been shown to influence health outcomes, their differential effects on subjective cognitive decline (SCD) in Black American adults remain understudied. The purpose of this study is to help fill this gap.
methodsThe study utilized a cross-sectional research design. Black American participants (N = 242; Mean age = 44.32) responded to a survey assessing SCD, grit, resilience, and sociodemographic factors. Linear regression analysis was performed to test the associations between grit and resilience and SCD, and to explore if the associations differed by sex.
resultsAnalysis showed that grit (β = 0.386, p < 0.001) was positively associated with SCD, but the effect size was larger in Black men (β = 0.527, p < 0.001) than women (β = 0.285, p < 0.001). Also, resilience (β = -0.220, p < 0.001) was negatively associated with SCD and the effect size was larger in Black men (β = -0.266, p < 0.001) than women (β = -0.187, p < 0.01).
conclusionOur findings suggest that while higher levels of resilience may be a protective factor against SCD, higher grit may be associated with greater likelihood of SCD. Future studies should assess whether these associations persist when using objective measures of cognitive decline and further examine these factors as potential targets for cognitive health interventions.
