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

Purpose: Cognitive impairment is currently a prominent age-related challenge among older adults. This study examined the relationships between inhibitory control, cognitive function, EEG indicators, and physical exercise in older adults with cognitive impairment, and explored the mediating roles of EEG indicators and inhibitory control in the association between physical exercise and cognitive function. Patients and methods: A total of 239 older adults were recruited, of whom 209 were included in the final analysis. Cognitive function and physical exercise were assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Physical Activity Rating Scale-3 (PARS-3), respectively. Inhibitory control was evaluated using the Stroop task and 5 min of resting-state EEG signals were recorded. Results: Cognitive function was significantly associated with inhibitory control in older adults with cognitive impairment. Conclusion: Higher volumes of physical exercise in older adults are associated with superior inhibitory control and cognitive performance, as well as lower resting-state
