Neuropsychiatric Symptoms and Mortality in Cognitively Normal Older Mexican Americans.
Article in Hispanic journal of behavioral sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) present in older adults with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias are related to mortality. Research on the relationship between NPS and mortality in a non-dementia population is limited. This study examines NPS as a predictor of six-year mortality among community dwelling Mexican Americans aged 80 years and older. Data included 466 cognitively normal participants from Wave 7 of the Hispanic Established Population for the Epidemiological Study of Elderly. NPS were measured using the Neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI). Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) of mortality. The HR of death at 6 years was 1.02 (95% Confidence Interval-CI [1.00, 1.04]) as a function of NPI score and 1.09 (95% CI [1.02, 1.17]) for the number of NPI conditions, controlling for demographic and health characteristics. Apathy, irritability, and aberrant motor behavior were all independently predictors of mortality. NPS may be modifiable risk factors to increase survival time or may be indicative of underlying health problems. NPS may be related to underlying health conditions among older adults with normal cognitive functioning.
