1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionPoorer baseline functioning is associated with long-term cognitive decline among Hispanic older adults, but little is known about associations of these factors with Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuroimaging biomarkers.

methodsA total of 461 Hispanic and White non-Hispanic (NHW) older adults who are cognitively normal (

resultsMRI volumes significantly predicted functional limitations in both groups. Sex and amyloid load significantly predicted functional limitations among the Hispanic group only. Years of education and MRI regional volume were the strongest predictors of cognition among both groups. DISCUSSION: Results indicate that functional performance is associated with early AD biomarkers among Hispanic older adults. Clinical implications are discussed. Highlights: The current study addresses health disparities in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementia assessment among Hispanics by identifying measures sensitive to early AD biomarkers.Associations of functional measures with AD genetic and neuroimaging biomarkers revealed that similarities in these associations exist between Hispanic and White non-Hispanic individuals, but biological sex and amyloid load significantly predicted functional limitations among the Hispanic group only.These results have clinical implications for physicians who treat Hispanic AD patients and indicate that when compared to traditional diagnostic assessments, functional assessments may better aid in AD diagnostic precision among Hispanics.
