The Relationship Between Immigrant Status and Undiagnosed Dementia: The Role of Limited English Proficiency.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study investigates whether immigrant status is a risk factor for developing dementia and having undiagnosed dementia, as well as the role of limited English proficiency (LEP) as a mediator in the association. Data were drawn from the 2011 wave of the National Health and Aging Trends Study. The sample consisted of 7385 adults aged 65 years and older (6567 U.S.-born and 818 foreign-born). Step-wise logistic regression analyses were performed. Older immigrants had 70% greater odds of having dementia compared to U.S.-born participants. Among those with dementia (n = 1920), older immigrants showed 119% higher odds of being undiagnosed compared to the U.S.-born. Mediation analyses showed that the total effects of immigrant status on dementia and undiagnosed dementia explained by LEP were 87.6% and 56.1%, respectively. It is important to tailor dementia education and interventions to the immigrant population with LEP.
