Examining racial differences in the network structure and properties of specific cognitive domains among older adults.
Article in GeroScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Older adults oftentimes experience cognitive aging which leads to varying degrees of cognitive impairment. Previous studies have found that racial and ethnic disparities exist in the prevalence and severity of cognitive impairment among older adults. Yet, little is known on the relationship among specific cognitive domains and how this relationship differs between African American and White older adults. This is a secondary data analysis of Wave II (2010-2011) data from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP). A total of 2,471 older adults aged between 65 and 85 years old (African American n = 452, White n = 2019) were included. Network analysis was used to visualize and characterize the network structure and to examine network stability. Then, network comparison test was conducted to compare the network properties of the cognitive network structure between African American and White older adults. African American older adults had a lower cognitive function in all cognitive domains than White older adults. While there was no significant difference in global strength, there was a significant difference in the network structure and strength centrality measure between the two groups (p < 0.05). The invariance edge strength test found the language-visuospatial edge to be significantly stronger in African American older adults. Clinicians need to understand the different cognitive function across multiple cognitive domains between African American and White older adults and routinely offer targeted and timely cognitive assessment and management in this population.
