Trial report in Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02817074 (MIND Diet Intervention to Prevent Alzheimer's Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

introductionWe examined whether participant characteristics, including sociodemographics, APOE ε4 allele, lifestyle factors, and cardiovascular risk factors, modified the effect of the Mediterranean-Dietary Approach to Systolic Hypertension Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND).

methodsThe MIND trial (NCT02817074) randomized adults 65 to 85 years who were overweight or obese to the MIND diet or control diet conditions. A linear mixed-effects model was used to examine whether participant characteristics modified the effect of MIND on the annual change in a global cognition score derived from a battery of 12 neurocognitive tests.

resultsOn average, participants (N = 604) were 70.4 years old, 65.5% female, and with a body mass index (BMI) of 33.9 kg/m DISCUSSION: The MIND diet may have cognitive benefits in people with obesity, particularly BMI ≥ 35. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT02817074 HIGHLIGHTS: This study examined potential effect modifiers of the MIND diet on cognition. BMI emerged as a significant effect modifier. In those with BMI ≥ 35 kg/m
