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

Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is a known risk factor for dementia, yet its association with objective cognition and emotional state remains underexplored in Latin American populations. Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between SCD, objective cognition, and emotional state in older adults from Arequipa, Peru. Methods: This study investigated these relationships in 43 older adults from Arequipa, Peru, classified as having SCD (n=17), mild cognitive impairment (n=12), or normal cognition (n=14). Participants underwent assessments of global cognition, subjective decline (via the E-Cog), objective cognitive domains, and emotional state. Results: Findings showed a significant association between SCD and emotional disorders, with emotional symptoms correlating with total E-Cog scores and specific domains such as memory, language, planning, and organization. Additionally, general cognition, long-term memory, and cognitive flexibility were associated with deficits in visuospatial processing, attention, and executive function. Conclusions: These results underscore the need to account for emotional factors when evaluating the relationship between SCD and objective cognitive performance.
