No associations between blood pressure and brain volumes in a convenience sample of Hispanic/Latino middle-aged and older adults.
Article in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 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
Background: High blood pressure (BP) is a known risk factor for dementia, but the relationships between BP and gross brain volumes are mixed and are understudied in groups who are at particularly high risk for dementia, such as Hispanic/Latino adults. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationships between BP and brain volumes, among Hispanic/Latino older adults. Methods: Participants included 122 cognitively healthy Hispanic/Latino late middle-aged and older adults ages (mean age = 73.48 years, SD = 7.32) from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center. Data were collected from 2005 to 2024 from 20 Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers. BP measures included systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), and pulse pressure (PP). Brain outcomes included total, hippocampal, gray matter, and white matter hyperintensity volumes. Covariates included age, sex, Hispanic/Latino heritage, hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, body mass index, hypotensive status, and smoking status. Results: No BP measure was significantly associated with brain outcomes (all Discussion: Overall, we found no relationships between BP measures and brain volumes in this sample of late middle-aged and older Hispanic/Latino adults. Our findings warrant longitudinal studies to better characterize the relationships between BP and other cardiovascular disease risk factors with brain health in this population.
