Socio-demographic variables among a group of patients with cognitive decline.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Objective: The present study aims to explore the relationship between socio-demographic characteristics and cognitive decline. Method: The sample included 124 participants (58.87% females), aged 62 to 91 years (M = 75.28, SD = 8.07), who were divided into two groups based on cutoff scores from the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-III (ACE-III): 41 individuals were classified as cognitively healthy, and 83 were identified as suffering from cognitive decline. A series of standard multiple regression analyses were performed to predict cognitive performance based on gender, age, education level, work, domicile, and marital status. Results: The results showed that socio-demographic variables (i.e., age, education level, living in urban areas, and less cognitively demanding professions) were associated with cognitive domains (attention, memory, language, fluency and visuo-spatial ability). Conclusion: Sociodemographic variables have been demonstrated to be associated with cognitive performance. Our findings may prove useful in improving the diagnostic profile of individuals with cognitive decline. Using sociodemographic characteristics to identify individuals at risk might support the development of targeted interventions, improving quality of life and reducing associated straining factors.
