Number of chronic diseases and cognitive function among the elderly in China: a moderated mediation model.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. 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
Purpose: Despite the wealth of data on the role of chronic disease comorbidity in shaping cognitive dysfunction in older adults, a comprehensive view of this dynamic interplay remains a frontier. This study will reveal the intricate interactions between the number of chronic diseases and cognitive function in the elderly, based on the perspective of cognitive function in patients with multiple chronic diseases. Methods: Our study was based on the data from the 2023 China Psychological Care for the Elderly Action Survey, and the SPSS 26.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, United States) software package was used for mediation model analysis. The approach encompassed descriptive analysis of variables, Spearman's correlation analyses to explore associations between variables, and a moderated mediation analysis. Results: The study found that the number of chronic diseases ( Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive mediation model that establishes a new association between the number of chronic diseases and cognitive function in older adults. It suggests that we should pay attention to the negative impact of multiple chronic diseases on cognitive function of the elderly and improve their psychological coping ability, so as to ensure the stable development of healthy aging.
