Loneliness and subjective cognitive concerns in daily life.
Article in Aging & mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectivesLoneliness is a risk factor for dementia, but its relationship with subjective cognitive concerns in daily life remains underexplored. This study investigates how loneliness relates to self-perceived cognitive function in everyday contexts.
methodData from 1,828 adults (M
resultsThe analysis indicated a significant between- and within-person association between loneliness and subjective cognition. At the between-person level, participants who felt lonelier tended to report more cognitive problems. At the within-person level, on days participants felt lonely (independent of the frequency of those feelings), they also reported more trouble concentrating and were more likely to experience memory lapses. Feeling lonely was also linked to irritation and interference related to memory lapses. In general, the associations remained significant controlling for demographic and socio-contextual factors and excluding individuals with anxiety/depression or neurodegenerative conditions.
conclusionResults suggest that even transitory feelings of loneliness are associated with poor perceptions of everyday cognitive function, a marker with implications for future risk of cognitive decline.
