Acceptability and Results of Dementia Screening Among Older Adults in the United States.
Article in Current Alzheimer research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
objectivesTo measure older adults acceptability of dementia screening and assess screening test results of a racially diverse sample of older primary care patients in the United States.
designCross-sectional study of primary care patients aged 65 and older.
settingUrban and suburban primary care clinics in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 2008 to 2009.
participantsNine hundred fifty-four primary care patients without a documented diagnosis of dementia. MEASUREMENTS: Community Screening Instrument for Dementia, the Mini-Mental State Examination, and the Telephone Instrument for Cognitive Screening.
resultsOf the 954 study participants who consented to participate, 748 agreed to be screened for dementia and 206 refused screening. The overall response rate was 78.4%. The positive screen rate of the sample who agreed to screening was 10.2%. After adjusting for demographic differences the following characteristics were still associated with increased likelihood of screening positive for dementia: age, male sex, and lower education. Patients who believed that they had more memory problems than other people of their age were also more likely to screen positive for dementia.
conclusionAge and perceived problems with memory are associated with screening positive for dementia in primary care.
