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

The 2024 Lancet Commission Report on dementia prevention has identified 14 modifiable risk factors that account for approximately 45% of global dementia cases. We used a global multidimensional approach that integrates gender equity considerations, poverty, wealth shocks, income inequality and HIV infection rates to identify additional risk factors beyond those reported in 2024 report. This methodological framework aims to enhance equitable prevention strategies to mitigate the global burden of dementia. We demonstrate that adding four additional risk factors: poverty, wealth shocks, income inequality, and HIV, while also considering the influences of sex and gender will improve the global applicability of the 2024 report. This is important because, despite dementia primarily affecting women, 57% of the risk factors identified in the 2024 report are more prevalent in men. Our analysis suggests that incorporating these four additional factors could potentially increase the proportion of preventable dementia cases to about 65%. This approach would also reshape the understanding of dementia risk, indicating that around 56% of modifiable risks disproportionately impact women. Expanding risk models in this manner is crucial for developing equitable and effective global dementia prevention strategies, particularly in underrepresented regions. We present these considerations as enhancements to the Commission's significant work.
