Dementia risk among individuals with a migrant background-a scoping review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in dementia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: While non-pharmacological dementia prevention is increasingly prioritized in research and policy, intersectional perspectives remain underrepresented. These are essential to address structural determinants of health and persistent diversities and inequities. This scoping review aimed to synthesize the existing amount of research on dementia risk and prevention in relation to migration background, focusing on three questions: (1) dementia risk and associated risk factors, (2) prevention, and (3) evidence concerning the most marginalized migrant populations. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, PsycInfo, and Web of Science following PRISMA guidelines. The Population-Concept-Context (PCC) framework was used to define inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two researchers independently screened abstracts and full texts; discrepancies were resolved through discussion with a third reviewer. The included studies were synthesized and discussed. Results: Thirty-nine studies met the inclusion criteria for (1), including some known risk factors and relevant migration background factors, such as language barriers, discrimination, and mental health. Regarding prevention (2), only a few studies addressed migration-related aspects, including faith, internet use, or diagnosis. Evidence on asylum seekers, undocumented individuals, or those with irregular status was absent (3). Conclusion: This review highlights significant knowledge gaps in dementia research concerning people with a migrant background. However, risk and preventive factors were summarized and partially combined regarding targeted, sensible prevention. Nevertheless, migration might modify dementia risk across multiple levels, yet preventive efforts remain sparse. Addressing these gaps is essential to designing equitable strategies for reducing dementia risk and inclusive implementation in research and practice.
