Lifestyle Composite and Resilience to Alzheimer's Disease Pathology in Down Syndrome.
Article in Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities : JARID, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundPeople with Down syndrome (DS) have a high risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Identifying resiliency factors for AD is of critical importance to the DS community.
methodParticipants were 63 adults with DS. Measures included amyloid-beta PET scans (amyloid age), National Task Group-Early Detection Screen for Dementia (NTG-EDSD), and Down Syndrome Mental Status Examination (DSMSE). Lifestyle composites were created by assessing time spent in leisure, employment, and physical activity across 7 days through informant reports and accelerometry.
resultsThere was a significant moderation effect of the lifestyle composite on the association between amyloid age and the NTG-EDSD and DSMSE. Participants with a higher lifestyle composite (higher leisure, employment engagement, and physical activity) had fewer dementia symptoms than those with a lower lifestyle composite score of a similar amyloid age.
conclusionsModifiable lifestyle factors may allow adults with DS to maintain cognitive functioning for longer in the face of AD pathology.
