Sex as a Risk Factor for Developing Cognitive Impairments in National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center Participants.
Article in Journal of Alzheimer's disease reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundIt is inconclusive on how sex affects the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia.
objectiveTo investigate how sex affects the risk of developing MCI or dementia.
methodsA secondary data analysis was performed on data collected from participants enrolled at Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers funded by National Institute on Aging. There were two inclusion criteria: 1) participants were free of dementia at the baseline visit; 2) every participant must have at least one follow-up visit. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to investigate how sex affects the risk of developing cognitive impairments.
resultsDuring a follow-up period of more than 10 years, male participants had a slightly higher incidence than female participants for either MCI or dementia. Not surprisingly, a higher prevalence was observed in male than female participants for either MCI or dementia. However, male participants had a higher mortality rate than their female counterparts.
conclusionThe male sex is associated with a higher risk for developing cognitive impairments along the aging process.
