Identifying digital phenotypes of risk for Alzheimer's disease and related dementia among Hispanic/Latino persons living in the United States: A protocol for a prospective quantitative study.
Article in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Hispanic/Latino/a/x (hereafter Latino) persons living in the U.S. are at increased risk for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) compared to non-Latino Whites. Early detection of preclinical changes is crucial. The SALUD-Tech study aims to identify digital behavioral markers-"digital signatures"-of ADRD risk in diverse middle-aged and older Latinos using passive data from smartphones and smartwatches. Methods: Participants include Latino adults aged 50-70 years living in southern California, with varying degrees of ADRD risk as defined by the presence of mild cognitive impairment and cardiovascular disease risk. Data collection began in April 2022 and will continue through 2026. Participants complete comprehensive laboratory assessments (neurobehavioral, medical, sociocultural, and psychiatric assessments). High-frequency data on sensors, keyboard dynamics, and phone use activity are collected for 30 days following the baseline visit. A subset of study participants completes 18- and 36-month longitudinal assessments; these participants are selected based on risk profiles and retention likelihood. All data are securely encrypted, de-identified, and collected respecting participant privacy and consent in accordance with ethical standards. Data analysis involves integrating multimodal data streams using machine learning to identify behavioral patterns associated with early cognitive decline. Results: We anticipate 300 participants will be enrolled in the study. Study results will be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Discussion: Early detection of ADRD risk using smartphone and wearable data could help reduce disparities by providing a low-cost, accessible tool. Ultimately, this approach may be integrated into clinical care to enable earlier interventions and reduce healthcare costs.
