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

Background: Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) is associated with cognitive decline and dementia risk. This study assessed the relationship between MBI severity and cognition in community-dwelling older Latino adults. Methods: The cognitive function index (CFI) assessed subjective cognition, and the MBI-Checklist (MBI-C; self-report) measured MBI symptoms in 168 older Latinos (134 cognitively unimpaired, 34 with mild cognitive impairment). The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and NEUROPSI Delayed Word List Recall measured cognitive function. Linear regressions examined the impact of MBI-C symptoms on cognition, controlling for age, sex, and education. Results: The MBI domain of decreased motivation predicted subjective cognition and delayed verbal recall performance. The mood dysregulation domain predicted only subjective cognition. Neither domain predicted total MMSE scores. Discussion: MBI symptoms of decreased motivation and mood dysregulation influenced poorer subjective and objective cognition in Latinos, potentially signaling prodromal Alzheimer's related changes. These findings highlight the need to assess neuropsychiatric symptoms in this population. Highlights: Decreased motivation predicted worse subjective cognition and verbal memory.Mood dysregulation only predicted worse subjective cognition.These findings were adjusted for age, sex, and education in Latino older adults.
