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

objectivesUsing nationally representative data sets, this study examined differences in healthcare expenditures between U.S.-born and foreign-born individuals aged 65 and above by the presence of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) and cognitive limitations (CL). This study further examined whether healthcare expenditures among foreign-born individuals vary by their duration of residence in the United States.

methodsThe study used the 2007-2020 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and employed generalized linear regression models to estimate differences in healthcare expenditures between U.S.-born and foreign-born older adults with ADRD, CL, and without ADRD or CL. Survey weights were applied to all estimates.

resultsOur study identified significant differences in healthcare expenditures among older adults by the presence of ADRD/CL and immigrant status. Having ADRD/CL had a more pronounced impact on high healthcare expenditures among foreign-born older adults than U.S.-born adults with ADRD/CL, thereby diminishing the difference in healthcare expenditures by U.S. nativity status for the older adults with ADRD or CL. In the analysis further distinguishing immigrants by their duration of residence, lower healthcare expenditures were primarily observed among foreign-born individuals with ADRD or CL who had lived in the United States for less than 10 years. DISCUSSION: Our results suggest potential shifts in costs resulting from delayed access to, and diagnosis or treatment of ADRD at a younger age, leading to increased healthcare needs and expenses among U.S. foreign-born older adults.
