Mild Behavioral Impairment: A Population-Based Study.
Article in The Journal of neuropsychiatry and clinical neurosciences, 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
objectiveThe authors conducted a population-based investigation of mild behavioral impairment (MBI) in the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging setting. MBI refers to new onset of neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) among adults ages ≥50 that is not due to a psychiatric disorder and that may be a precursor of cognitive decline or dementia.
methodsThe Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire was used in a cross-sectional study of participants ≥50 years without dementia to assess for NPS. Linear and logistic regression models were estimated and adjusted for age, sex, and education.
resultsThe study sample comprised 2,713 participants (mean±SD age=74.6±9.5 years, 47% women). Overall, 11% of the participants had MBI at the first follow-up; 2,498 were cognitively unimpaired (10% of whom had MBI), and 215 had mild cognitive impairment (MCI; 29% of whom had MBI). Having MBI was associated with significantly higher odds of MCI (OR=3.47, 95% CI=2.46-4.84) and lower cognitive scores. Severe MBI was associated with even higher MCI odds (OR=5.15, 95% CI=2.73-9.37) and lower cognitive scores.
conclusionsIn this study of older adults, participants with MCI were almost three times more likely than cognitively unimpaired participants to have MBI. Having MBI was associated with increased odds of having MCI and lower cognitive scores.
