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/

objectivesThis study investigates the relationship between dairy-egg-meat (DEM) consumption, physical exercise, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among Chinese older adults, focusing on gender-specific patterns and potential moderating effects.

methodsUsing data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), we conducted a longitudinal analysis of 14,640 participants aged 55 and above, followed from 2008 to 2018. The study utilized Cox Proportional Hazard Models to examine the associations between baseline DEM consumption and MCI incidence. A composite DEM consumption measure, ranging from 0 to 3, with exercise assessed as a binary interaction variable. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Chinese version of the Mini-Mental State Exam, with MCI diagnosed using aging-associated cognitive decline (AACD) criteria.

resultsThe overall MCI prevalence was 11.54%, with significant gender differences. The proportion of MCI among females (13.68%) was higher compared to males (8.85%). Moderate to high DEM consumption demonstrated protective effects against MCI with gender-specific patterns, showing a significant protective effect of exercise for high DEM consumption (HR = 0.780).

conclusionsThe study reveals a complex, gender-specific relationship between DEM consumption and MCI risk. Exercise emerges as a significant moderator, particularly for males, highlighting the importance of integrated dietary and physical activity approaches to cognitive health. The findings underscore the need for gender-sensitive interventions targeting nutrition and physical activity among older adults.
