Association of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness With Long-Term Incident Dementia: The Role of β-Amyloid and White Matter Injury.

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
introductionExcessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is common in community-dwelling older adults, but its association with long-term incident dementia remains unclear. The roles of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology and vascular-related white matter injury in this association were merely studied.
methodsWe included 617 dementia-free participants from the Shanghai Aging Study with up to 10 years of follow-up. At baseline, EDS was assessed with the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and plasma phosphorylated tau (p-tau)217 was measured using a single-molecule immune-array assay. Cognitive decline was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and incident dementia was determined by expert consensus during follow-up. A magnetic resonance imaging marker of white matter injury (peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity [PSMD]) was derived from diffusion tensor imaging, and gray matter volume was assessed from T1-weighted imaging in a subcohort.
resultsAt baseline, 66 participants (10.7%) had EDS and showed lower MMSE scores. EDS was associated with a higher risk of incident dementia (hazard ratio [HR] 2.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09-3.92), especially among individuals with low p-tau217 (HR 4.94, 95% CI 1.75-13.93) independent of sleep disturbance after adjusting for age, sex, and education. Higher ESS was related to AD pathology-dependent patterns of brain atrophy and to higher PSMD. PSMD modified the associations between EDS and cognitive decline, and incident dementia. Participants with both high PSMD and EDS showed the highest dementia risk. DISCUSSION: EDS may help identify older adults with low AD biomarker burden who are at increased risk of dementia, independent of nocturnal sleep disturbance. White matter injury may contribute to this risk, supporting a vascular vulnerability pathway.
