1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

BackgroundIndividuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are at increased risk of dementia and may benefit from lifestyle-based strategies for secondary prevention in clinical practice.ObjectiveTo examine risk awareness, needs and preferences for dementia risk reduction in individuals with self-reported SCD and MCI and memory clinic professionals.MethodsUsing a mixed-methods approach, we conducted online surveys to examine risk awareness, needs and preferences, and semi-structured interviews to explore barriers and facilitators related to online dementia risk reduction.Results1167 individuals with SCD (n = 1092) and MCI (n = 75), predominantly community-based research volunteers and a smaller group recruited via memory clinics, and 58 professionals completed the survey. Among SCD/MCI individuals, 39.5% were unaware that dementia risk can be reduced through lifestyle changes, 97.5% were interested in obtaining such information, and 97.9% considered using an online dementia risk management tool. Among professionals, 10.3% were unaware of dementia risk reduction, and 87.0% considered using a tool on this topic during consultations. Cardiovascular risk factors were poorly recognized by SCD/MCI individuals and, though acknowledged by professionals, rarely discussed in consultations. Interviews with SCD/MCI individuals (n = 14) and professionals (n = 9) highlighted several areas supporting implementation of an online dementia risk management tool (e.g., personalization, up-to-date information, coaching).ConclusionsDementia risk awareness was low among SCD/MCI individuals, and high among memory clinic professionals. Both groups showed strong interest in using an online dementia risk management tool, and specific content, design and delivery features may influence engagement. Findings should be interpreted recognizing the mostly online-recruited, higher-educated study sample.
