NHANES 2011-2014: Association Between Conicity Index and Cognitive Performance in Older Adults.
Article in Alpha psychiatry, 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
Background: The negative impact of obesity on cognitive function (CF) is well-established; nevertheless, no prior studies have explored the link between conicity index and cognitive performance. This research sought to investigate the link between conicity index and cognitive impairment. Methods: Data were obtained from a cross-sectional analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2014 (NHANES), with CF evaluated by the total scores of three cognitive tests (TCT), the delayed recall test (DRT), the immediate recall test (IRT), the animal fluency test (AFT), and the digit symbol substitution test (DSST). The conicity index was derived from waist circumference, height, and weight. Multiple linear regression, smooth curve fitting, and subgroup interaction analyses were utilized to explore the correlation between conicity index and cognitive performance. Results: The study included 2752 subjects and the results indicated that increasing conicity index was markedly associated with declining CF. In fully adjusted models, the conicity index was linked to reductions in total cognitive score (β = -16.35, 95% confidence interval (CI): -26.68 to -6.02, Conclusions: Lower CF is associated with a higher conicity index. The conicity index is useful for the early detection of cognitive decline.
