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

Brain Age Gap has been associated with dementia in old age. Less is known relating brain age gap to dementia risk-factors or cognitive performance in middle-age. Cognitively healthy, middle-aged subjects from PREVENT-Dementia had comprehensive neuropsychological, neuroimaging and genetic assessments. Brain Ages were predicted from T1-weighted 3T MRI scans. Cognition was assessed using the COGNITO computerized test battery. 552 middle-aged participants (median [interquartile range] age 52.8 [8.7] years, 60.0% female) had baseline data, of whom 95 had amyloid PET data. Brain age gap in middle-age was associated with hypertension (
