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

Childhood trauma has lasted consequences for women's cognitive health and this may contribute to memory decline and increased vulnerability to cognitive impairment in later life. A cross sectional study was carried out to assess the correlation between childhood trauma and cognitive status among 55 women aged 58-79 years were selected from Departments of Psychiatry and General Medicine, Tanta University Hospital, Egypt. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was used to evaluate cognitive performance, the Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) for global clinical staging, and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) for childhood adversity. Overall, emotional abuse was exposed the most with a high mean score on the CTQ subscale. Pearson correlations and multiple linear regression models (controlling for age) showed that emotional neglect and physical neglect were the strongest predictors across both outcomes. For MoCA performance, emotional neglect (β = -0.0877,
