Assessing Alzheimer's Disease Knowledge and Cognitive Risk Among a Rural Older Afro-Caribbean Cohort.
Article in Journal of community health nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeOlder, rural Afro-Caribbeans are a growing subset of the Black population who face increased risk for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), but research targeting ADRD is scarce in this group. The purpose of this study was to investigate dementia risk among older Afro-Caribbeans living in a rural area. We also examined age, sex, and years of education, and knowledge about Alzheimer's disease as potential predictors of dementia risk.
designA pre-post, correlational design was employed.
methodsCognitive screenings were conducted using Nasreddine's Mini-MoCA, with tests of language fluency/orientation/recall, and linear regression analysis. A basic knowledge of Alzheimer's disease survey (BKAD) was also administered.
findingsA total of 55 Afro-Caribbean participants (67.0 +10.8y (
conclusionWhile the Mini-MoCA showed good reliability in less-educated older Afro-Caribbeans, scores were strongly dependent on years of education. Offering a limited intervention resulted in increased BKAD scores in this Afro-Caribbean sample, and a low BKAD score was associated with a higher dementia risk category. CLINICAL EVIDENCE: This study contributes to the limited but growing body of research about Alzheimer's disease knowledge, cognitive risk, and dementia detection among Afro-Caribbeans. The use of language-neutral cognitive assessments is recommended among rural older immigrants.
