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: Previous studies had accessed the effect of egg consumption on cognitive function, but the general population-based evidence is limited and inconclusive. In addition, the optimal intake of egg remains unclear. The study aimed to investigate the association of egg consumption with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in rural adults and then explore the recommended intake of eggs. Methods: This study included 14,550 participants from the second wave of the Henan Rural Cohort Study. Egg consumption was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Cognitive function was measured using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). MCI was defined as MMSE scores ≤ 17 for illiteracy, ≤ 20 for primary school education, or ≤ 24 for junior high school education or higher. Logistic regression analyzed the relationship between egg intake and MCI. Dose-response relationships were evaluated using restricted cubic spline (RCS) models. Results: The adjusted odds ratio ( Conclusion: Egg consumption is associated with cognitive function among rural populations and eat egg 87.94 g/day could have best benefit, supporting its potential role in dietary strategies for cognitive health.
