The Influence of Psychosocial and Cognitive Factors on Perceived Threat of Alzheimer's Disease.
Article in American journal of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05350410 (A Pilot Study for the Healthy Actions and Lifestyles to Avoid Dementia or Hispanos y el ALTo a la Demencia Program), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
This study explored psychosocial and cognitive predictors of perceived threat of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Respondents were 1641 adults (mean age: 64.4; 54% female; 82% white) who completed a module in the Health and Retirement Study, a nationally representative survey of adults aged ≥50. Findings show that perceived threat was significantly higher for those aged 50 to 64 ( P < .001) and 65 to 74 ( P < .05) than for those ≥75. Respondents with a family history of AD had significantly greater perceived threat ( P < .001) than those with no experience. Stronger endorsement of the beliefs that stress ( P < .01) or genetics ( P < .01) are important AD risk factors was significantly associated with greater perceived threat, as was having more depressive symptoms ( P < .01), poorer self-rated memory ( P < .01), and lower cognitive function ( P < .01). Personal experience moderated the relationship between perceived threat and 2 variables: age and self-rated memory. Understanding perceived AD threat may inform practice and policies centered on early and accurate diagnosis.
