Subjective cognitive change in healthy community-based young and midlife adults: a comparison to those with mild traumatic brain injury.
Article in BMC psychology, 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 a paucity of research examining subjective cognitive change in healthy young and midlife (Y/ML) adults.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to compare subjective cognitive change (both improvement and deterioration; SCC) between healthy Y/ML adults and individuals with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and investigate factors that may be associated with SCC in YML adults.
methodThe sample comprised 111 healthy Y/ML adults and 72 age-matched individuals with mTBI who completed measures of SCC, psychological status and objective cognitive function.
resultsAnalyses revealed that 81% of Y/ML adults believed their cognition was no different or better than 4 weeks prior, compared to only 41% of the mTBI group. There was no robust linear association between any measure of cognition or psychological status and SCC in the Y/ML adults (p>.05).
conclusionsMany healthy Y/ML adults believe their cognition to be improving over time, at least somewhat (34%).
