Cognitive ageing among older Latin American immigrants: current evidence and limitations.
Review in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 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
Objective: This review synthesises current evidence on cognitive function among older Latin American immigrants and identifies key factors associated with cognitive outcomes. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search was conducted across five databases (Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, Scielo, and Scopus) for peer-reviewed quantitative studies, without language restrictions. Titles and abstracts of 188 records were screened, and nine articles were selected for full-text screening. Results: Overall, three studies met the inclusion criteria, all conducted in the United States of America and primarily involving Mexican-born older adults, revealing the limited geographic and ethnic diversity of the available evidence. Cognitive outcomes were assessed using standardised global cognition measures and compared with those of non-immigrant populations. These disparities were largely associated with socioeconomic disadvantages and lower educational achievements. Additional factors consistently linked to cognitive outcomes included gender, cardiometabolic health, country of origin, age at migration, and neighbourhood socioeconomic context. Conclusion: Evidence on cognitive ageing among older Latin American immigrants remains limited and geographically concentrated. Greater research diversity and more precise characterisation of immigrant populations are needed to better understand cognitive ageing and to inform equitable, culturally responsive policies and interventions.
