Functional ability in cognitive complaints: The role of neuropsychiatric and cognitive factors in community-dwelling older adults.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia. Behavior & socioeconomics of aging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introcutionThe relationship between functional ability and neuropsychiatric or cognitive factors in older adults with cognitive complaints (CCs) remains unexplored in Latin America.
methods290 community-dwelling older adults with CCs were recruited. Multiple regression analyzed the association between activities of daily living (ADLs) and neuropsychiatric and cognitive factors. Variance proportion in ADLs were further explored.
resultsApathy was associated with reduced functional ability (T-ADLQ global score [β = -0.42, 95% CI -0.57, -0.28]). Depression was linked to impaired advanced ADLs (β = 0.94, 95% CI 0.09, 1.79) and basic ADLs (β = 0.22, 95% CI 0.03, 0.42). Naming and speeded processing were significantly associated with global ADLs ((β = -0.55, 95% CI -0.99, -0.12); (β = 0.26, 95% CI 0.04, 0.48), respectively) and distinct ADLs sub-scores. DISCUSSION: Neuropsychiatric and cognitive factors affect ADLs based on their complexity. These results call for targeted interventions supporting independence in Latin American older adults.
