Changing demography and the challenge of dementia in India.
Review in Nature reviews. Neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 79 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
In India, increasing lifespan and decreasing fertility rates have resulted in a growing number of older persons. By 2050, people over 60 years of age are predicted to constitute 19.1% of the total population. This ageing of the population is expected to be accompanied by a dramatic increase in the prevalence of dementia. The aetiopathogenesis of dementia has been the subject of a number of prospective longitudinal studies in North America and Europe; however, the findings from these studies cannot simply be translated to the Indian population. The population of India is extremely diverse in terms of socio-economic, cultural, linguistic, geographical, lifestyle-related and genetic factors. Indeed, preliminary data from recently initiated longitudinal studies in India indicate that the prevalence of vascular and metabolic risk factors, as well as white matter hyperintensities, differs between urban and rural cohorts. More information on the complex role of vascular risk factors, gender and genetic influences on dementia prevalence and progression in Indian populations is urgently needed. Low-cost, culturally appropriate and scalable interventions need to be developed expeditiously and implemented through public health measures to reduce the growing burden of dementia. Here, we review the literature concerning dementia epidemiology and risk factors in the Indian population and discuss the future work that needs to be performed to put in place public health interventions to mitigate the burden of dementia.
