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

backgroundDementia risk factors coexist and interact in meaningful ways. Identifying risk profiles can inform prevention strategies.

methodsThis study examined profiles using seven modifiable risk factors and their associations with cognition and sex among older adults at risk of dementia. Risk profiles were identified using principal component analysis, and linear regressions assessed their associations with cognition.

resultsThree profiles emerged: (1) better sleep and social/psychological health; (2) better diet, physical activity, and vascular health; and (3) better cognitive engagement. Similar profiles were observed in women, except that better cognitive engagement grouped with poorer vascular health. In men, better cognitive engagement grouped with better vascular health and vision/hearing, while lower cognitive engagement was grouped with better sleep and social/psychological health. The lower cognitive engagement profile in men was associated with poorer cognition. DISCUSSION: Prevention strategies should target meaningful combinations of risk factors to improve dementia prevention. Further research is needed to validate and refine these profiles. Highlights: This study evaluated risk profiles using a broad range of modifiable risk factors.This is the first study to analyze such profiles in a Canadian population, stratified by sex.Risk profiles differed by sex, especially for the cognitive engagement risk factor.In men, lower cognitive engagement profile was associated with poorer cognition.
