Global burden of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias attributed to metabolic risks from 1990 to 2021: results from the global burden of disease study 2021.

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
objectiveThe risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias increases with greater global exposure to metabolic risks, making this a crucial public health issue. This study aimed to report the metabolism-attributable global burden of AD and other dementias from 1990 to 2021.
methodsThe Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2021 collected data on the number of deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) related to AD and other dementias caused by metabolic risks, including high fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and high body mass index (BMI). The analysis assessed the disease burden and temporal patterns worldwide, examining data by region, country, level of social development, age group, and sex.
resultsGlobally, the count of AD and other dementia-related deaths due to metabolic risks grew from 98,608 to 399,824, a 4.1-fold increase. For dementias related to high FPG and high BMI, the age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) and age-standardized DALY rate (ASDR) increased with age and were higher in females than in males. In 2021, the highest burden was observed in high-income North America. The ASMR and ASDR have grown worldwide between 1990 and 2021. The burden of metabolism-related AD and other dementias was positively correlated with the Socio-Demographic Index (SDI), with higher ASMR and ASDR in high SDI regions but showing more pronounced increases in low and low-middle SDI regions.
conclusionsMetabolism-related global burden of AD and other dementias is increasing, particularly among women and in high-income regions. Targeted prevention programs for dementia should be developed, along with early interventions for risk factors.
