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

Background: Neuroinflammation is linked to cognitive function. However, epidemiological research on two emerging inflammation markers-the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI)-remains limited in the context of cognitive performance. This study investigates the relationship between SII, SIRI, and cognitive performance in older adults. Methods: This cross-sectional analysis included 2,194 participants from the 2011-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) who met eligibility criteria. Logistic regression, subgroup analysis, and restricted cubic spline modeling were used to assess the associations between cognitive performance and inflammation markers, specifically SII and SIRI. Results: After adjusting for population weights, participants with low cognitive function had an SII of 541.54 (95% CI: 360.00-796.50, Conclusion: This study suggests a positive association between SII, SIRI, and cognitive function, with a more pronounced relationship for SIRI. These findings highlight the potential of SIRI as a novel, accessible marker for predicting cognitive impairment risk.
