Association of a multiplex immune marker panel with incident cognitive impairment and dementia: The Northern Manhattan Study.

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
Objective: To determine whether a panel of immune markers adds significant information to known correlates of risk of dementia and cognitive impairment. Background: The impact of immune mechanisms on dementia risk is incompletely characterized. Design/methods: A subsample of the Northern Manhattan Study, a prospective cohort study in the racially/ethnically diverse population of New York City, underwent comprehensive neuropsychological testing up to three times, at approximately 5-year intervals. Cognitive outcomes were adjudicated as no cognitive impairment, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or dementia. Immune markers were assessed using a multiplex immunoassay on plasma samples collected at the time of the first neuropsychological test. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) techniques were employed to yield a panel of immune markers linearly related to the outcome of dementia/MCI vs. no cognitive impairment. Nested logistic regression models were run to determine the independent association of the immune marker panel with dementia/MCI after adjusting for other predictors of risk. Results: Among 1179 participants (mean age 70.0 ± 8.9 years, 60% women, 68% Hispanic), immune markers improved model fit above demographic and vascular risk factors (p-value for likelihood ratio test <0.0001) as correlates of MCI/dementia. Individual immune markers found to be associated with dementia/MCI were C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 9 (CXCL9) and C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 2 (CCL2). The effect of the immune markers was comparable to traditional risk factors, with CCL2 (per SD) having almost the same effect as 1 year of aging and CXCL9 (per SD) showing approximately twice this magnitude. Conclusion: Immune markers are associated with cognitive decline and dementia outcomes in a multi-ethnic cohort. More work is needed to further characterize these associations and determine therapeutic strategies.
