Self-perceived memory is negatively associated with chronic disease awareness: Evidence from blood biomarker data.
Article in SSM - population health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Background and objectives: Cognitive misperception contributed to poor decision-making; yet their impact on health-related decisions is less known. We examined how self-perceived memory was associated with chronic disease awareness among older Chinese adults. Research design and methods: Data were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Nationally representative blood biomarkers were collected in 2015 to identify participants' dyslipidemia and diabetes status. Among participants with biomarker identified dyslipidemia or diabetes, disease awareness was defined as self-reported diagnosis of the conditions as of 2018. The association of self-perceived memory with chronic disease awareness was determined by weighted multivariate logistic regressions adjusting for cognitive ability and covariates. Results: Among 4578 adults aged 60 and over, 1442 and 759 individuals were identified having dyslipidemia and diabetes, with proportions of disease awareness being 38.0% and 58.1%, respectively. The proportions were lower for individuals with better self-perceived memory and those with more impaired cognitive ability, showing opposite patterns. Adjusting for cognitive ability and covariates, self-perceived memory was negatively associated with the dyslipidemia (OR = 0.80, 95%CI: 0.63-1.02) and diabetes (OR = 0.71, 95%CI: 0.55-0.92) awareness. In particular, older adults with the highest level of self-perceived memory had significantly lower disease awareness as compared to those with the lowest level of self-perceived memory (OR = 0.51, 95%CI: 0.28-0.94 for dyslipidemia; and OR = 0.42, 95%CI: 0.21-0.84 for diabetes). The negative association was robust to adjusting for alternative cognitive measures, and was stronger for individuals with rural status, lower education, or living without children. Discussion and implications: Cognitive misperception poses great challenges to chronic disease awareness. Targeted interventions and supports are needed, particularly for those more disadvantaged.
