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

Multiple psychiatric disorders are associated with later dementia, but it remains unclear whether these associations reflect a shared liability toward all psychiatric conditions (general psychopathology factor) or diagnosis-specific effects (specific psychopathology factors). In this Swedish register-based cohort study, we investigated these questions while adjusting for familial confounding shared by siblings (N = 2 543 621 individuals, 1 485 880 full-sibling pairs). Exposures were (i) six psychiatric diagnoses recorded by age 35 and (ii) a latent bifactor model fit to these diagnoses that identified one general and three specific (internalizing, externalizing, and psychotic) psychopathology factors. Outcomes were all-cause dementia and Alzheimer's disease recorded after age 50. For observed psychiatric diagnoses, we estimated between-individual (HR) and within-sibling hazard ratios (HR
