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

introductionDementia is a major global health challenge, with Alzheimer's disease (AD) being the most common cause.In China, due to its large and aging population, AD poses a significant threat. Although systematic reviews on the prevalence of dementia in the Chinese population exist, relatively few have specifically targeted AD. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of AD among the population aged 60 years and older in China from 2014 to 2024.

methodsA literature search on the prevalence of AD in China was conducted. A meta-analysis was performed using Stata version 16.0. The

resultsA total of 23 studies were included, with a total sample size of 307,415, including 13,662 patients with AD. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the prevalence of AD among the elderly Chinese population was 5.4% (95% CI: 4.7%-6.2%). The results of the meta-regression indicated that factors such as female sex, advanced age, low educational level, rural residence, and geographical region are the main factors influencing the prevalence of AD.

conclusionIn the past decade, the prevalence of AD among people over 60 years of age in China was approximately 5.4%, which is a major public health problem for China.
