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

backgroundWith the rapid advancement of aging, cognitive impairment has become an important factor contributing to the increase in medical costs for older adults. Motor Cognitive Risk (MCR) is a pre-dementia syndrome. Early identification and intervention of MCR's risk factors may reduce the incidence of dementia. However, previous studies mainly focused on the contemporaneous risk factors of MCR and paid less attention to the long-term impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on health outcomes in later life. Thus, this study assesses the relationship between ACEs and MCR among Chinese older adults.

methodsWe adopted data from the 2014 Life History Survey and the 2015 follow-up wave of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). The study excluded participants who were under the age of 60 and had dementia and mobility impairments. ACEs were evaluated by three dimensions and 8 items. MCR was assessed by two single-item questions. Logistic regression was used to estimate the relationship between ACEs and MCR.

resultsThe final sample included 4,937 older adults. After adjusting for covariates, childhood neglect was related with higher odds of MCR (OR = 1.382, 95% CI: 1.099-1.738). Each additional ACEs were associated with a 16.5% higher odds of MCR (OR = 1.165, 95% CI: 1.038-1.307). In addition, participants who reported three ACEs were linked to a higher odds of MCR than those with no ACEs (OR = 2.050, 95% CI: 1.136-3.699).

conclusionThese findings suggested that childhood neglect and exposure to multiple ACEs were association with MCR in old age. The results highlight early adversity has positively relationship on MCR of older adults, which underscore the important of early ACEs screening and interventions across the lifespan.
