Routine health checkups and cognitive resilience among older survivors of the 2011 Japan Tsunami.
Article in npj natural hazards, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We examined whether annual health check-up attendance was associated with a lower risk of cognitive decline, including among older survivors who lost housing during the 2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. Baseline data were collected seven months before the disaster from 4873 adults aged 65 years or older in Iwanuma City, Miyagi Prefecture. Follow-up surveys in 2013 and 2016 assessed health status, lifestyle, and disaster experiences, and were linked to municipal health check-up records and cognitive function assessments. Using augmented inverse probability weighting adjusted for 40 covariates, we estimated absolute risk differences in percentage points (pp): health check-up attendance was associated with lower risk of cognitive decline (risk difference [RD] -1.12pp, 95% confidence interval [CI] -1.35 to -0.88), with a stronger protective association among those whose homes were destroyed (RD -2.38pp, 95% CI -3.51 to -1.24). Maintaining health check-ups after disasters may mitigate health and lifestyle disruption and support cognitive resilience.
