Baseline Dementia Prevalence and Subtypes in Older Adults Hospitalized With Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Multicenter Study From a Large Integrated Health Care Delivery System.
Article in The Permanente journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundDementia is increasingly common among older adults (≥ 65 years) and is associated with poor outcomes. However, little is known about its baseline prevalence in patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), particularly across revascularization strategies.
methodsThe authors conducted a cross-sectional analysis from a current longitudinal cohort study of Kaiser Permanente Northern California members hospitalized with ACS between January 2010 and December 2020. Dementia diagnoses and subtypes were identified using International Classification of Diseases 9/10 codes. Baseline prevalence was compared across revascularization strategies: percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, or no revascularization.
resultsAmong 26,749 patients with ACS, the mean age was 76.7 ± 8.0 years; patients not revascularized were older than those who were (77.7 ± 8.3 vs 74.9 ± 7.0 years;
conclusionOne in 17 older adults hospitalized with ACS had a documented diagnosis of dementia at baseline, with substantial variation by revascularization strategy. These findings highlight the baseline burden of dementia in this high-risk population and support the need for future research on the incidence and progression of cognitive impairment after ACS.
