Agricultural Injuries With Dementia: Double Whammy?
Article in American journal of industrial medicine, 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
backgroundNearly 40% of US farmers are over 65 years old. Some emerging evidence links agricultural occupational exposure to increased dementia risk. However, little is known about dementia and injury outcomes in agricultural settings.
methodsWe employed data from the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Programs Participant Use File (ACS-TQP-PUF) (2017-2021), identifying individuals aged ≥ 60 with (1) agricultural injuries and dementia (Group 1; N = 318), (2) agricultural injuries without dementia (Group 2; N = 21,361), and (3) dementia without agricultural injuries (Group 3; N = 231,231). Injury mechanisms were compared across groups using chi-square tests. Injury severity was assessed via Injury Severity Score and the use of intensive care unit (ICU) or surgical care by hospitalized patients. Generalized ordered logit and logistic regression models estimated associations between group membership and injury severity, adjusting for demographics and comorbidities.
resultsFalls caused 94% of traumatic injuries in individuals with dementia alone but accounted for only 35% of injuries in those with both agricultural injuries and dementia. Group 1 and Group 2 experienced a broader range of injury mechanisms including motor vehicle traffic, transport, and environmental incidents. Compared to Group 3, Group 1 had higher probability of experiencing major injuries and receiving ICU/surgical care. Injury severity was largely similar between Groups 1 and 2.
conclusionsThis cross-sectional study provides suggestive evidence that older adults with dementia and agricultural injuries experience more severe outcomes than those in nonagricultural settings. Future research should explore this group in greater depth as well as the implications for dementia caregivers in agricultural communities.
