Occupational gaps and mild cognitive impairment among older workers.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2025. 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
purposeThis study aimed to investigate the association between currently employed but unwilling to remain employed (occupational gaps) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in older workers.
methodsA cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 2272 workers aged 65 years and older (mean age: 71.2 years, 52.2% male) who participated in a large community-based cohort study from 2017 to 2018. MCI was assessed using the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology-Functional Assessment Tool, which measures four cognitive domains: memory, attention, executive function, and processing speed. Participants with a decline ≥ 1.5 standard deviations below the age- and education-adjusted norms in one or more domains were classified as having MCI. Occupational gaps were categorized into two groups based on self-reported willingness to work. Logistic regression analysis was performed with MCI as the dependent variable and occupational gaps as the independent variable, and adjusted for covariates.
resultsAmong older workers, 18.0% experienced MCI and 46.1% experienced occupational gaps. The proportion of individuals with occupational gaps was 44.2% in the non-MCI group and 54.6% in the MCI group, with a significantly higher proportion in the MCI group (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between occupational gaps and MCI (odds ratio 1.44, 95% confidence interval 1.15-1.80).
conclusionThe findings suggest that occupational gaps may be associated with MCI in older workers.
