Cognitive function in normotensive elderly adults: a population-based cross-sectional study in rural China.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Introduction: Worldwide, the number of people with cognitive disorders is rapidly increasing. The risk factors for cognitive dysfunction in normotensive elderly individuals remain unclear. This study explored cognitive function and related risk factors in a rural elderly population in Tianjin, China. Methods: Participants were recruited from the Tianjin Brain Research Institute. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Multivariate logistic and linear regression analyses were performed using SPSS (version 27.0), with statistical significance set at Results: A total of 386 participants (191 males, 195 females; mean age 65.88 years) were included. Multivariate analysis revealed that gender, age, and body mass index (BMI) were significantly associated with MMSE scores. Women scored 2.40 points lower than men (95%CI: -3.78, -1.02, Conclusion: Older age, female gender, and lower BMI are associated with lower MMSE scores in normotensive elderly individuals. Strengthening community screening and education for older women and men with low BMI is essential.
