State Policy Liberalism in Adolescence and Risk for Dementia from 2000 to 2016 among Older U.S. Adults.

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
Although prior research identifies many social determinants of dementia, few studies look upstream toward dementia's macrosocial correlates, and fewer still consider macrosocial conditions in early life. This study focuses on state policy contexts in adolescence and, specifically, on state policy liberalism, defined as the overarching conservative-liberal orientation of state policies. We link panel data from a nationally representative sample of 6,410 U.S. adults ages 65 to 80 in the 2000 wave of the Health and Retirement Study with longitudinal data on state policy liberalism extending back in time to when respondents were young. Discrete-time hazard models examine relationships between state policy liberalism and the development of dementia from 2000 to 2016. Results show that more liberal state policy contexts in adolescence are associated with lower dementia risk in older age. Policy contexts over the life course and especially in early life warrant further exploration as macrosocial determinants of dementia.
