Dementia's mortality in America: a local, regional, and temporal evaluation.
Article in Dementia & neuropsychologia, 2026. 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
Dementia is a leading global health challenge. Despite its burden, data from American countries remain scarce and fragmented. This lack of robust evidence impedes regional planning and policy-making. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the temporal trends of dementia's mortality in America with a local and regional approach. Methods: This ecological time-series study analyzed age-adjusted dementia mortality rates across American countries between 2000 and 2019. Data were obtained from Pan American Health Organization and cross-validated with national and international sources. Joinpoint regression was used to estimate annual percent change, identifying significant temporal trends in mortality. Results: Between 2000 and 2019, dementia mortality rates were highest in the Insular Americas and varied widely across countries. The United States, Canada, and several Central and South American nations exhibited elevated rates, while others, such as Paraguay and Venezuela, reported consistently low values. National trends were heterogeneous, with some countries showing steady declines and others persistent or erratic increases. Conclusion: This study highlights significant temporal trends in American dementia mortality, identifying critical areas for public health intervention and offering a foundation for future research on healthcare equity and cancer outcomes.
