Determining Vascular Risk Factors for Dementia and Dementia Risk Prediction Across Mid- to Later Life: The Framingham Heart Study.
Article in Neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 45 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesThe association between vascular risk factors and dementia varies with age, making generalizability of dementia risk prediction rules to individuals of different ages challenging. We determined the most important vascular risk factors for inclusion in age-specific dementia risk scores.
methodsFramingham Heart Study Original and Offspring cohort participants with available data on the Framingham Stroke Risk Profile (FSRP) at midlife (age 55; n = 4,899, 57% women), late life (ages 65 or 70), or later life (ages 75 or 80 [n = 2,386, 62% women]) were followed for 10-year incident dementia risk from ages 65, 70, 75, and 80.
resultsAge- and sex-adjusted midlife risk factors associated with 10-year risk of dementia from age 65 included FSRP (hazard ratio [HR] 1.16, 95% CI 1.06-1.26, per 1 SD increment in log-transformed score), diabetes mellitus (DM; HR 4.31, 95% CI 1.97-9.43), and systolic blood pressure (SBP; HR 1.12, 95% CI 1.02-1.24, per 10 mm Hg increment). Late-life risk factors associated with 10-year incident dementia from ages 65 or 70 included FSRP (age 65 only: HR 1.06, 95% CI 1.02-1.10), antihypertensive use (age 65 reported: HR 1.66, 95% CI 1.12-2.46), DM (age 65 reported: HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.09-3.52), atrial fibrillation (age 65 reported: HR 2.30, 95% CI 1.00-5.27), nonstroke cardiovascular disease (nsCVD; age 65 reported: HR 1.95, 95% CI 1.24-3.07), and stroke (age 70 only: HR 3.61, 95% CI 2.21-5.92). Later-life risk factors associated with 10-year incident dementia from ages 75 or 80 included antihypertensive use (age 80 only: HR 0.74, 95% CI 0.62-0.89), DM (age 80 reported: HR 1.40, 95% CI 1.04-1.89), atrial fibrillation (age 80 reported: HR 1.43, 95% CI 1.07-1.92), and stroke (age 80 reported: HR 1.63, 95% CI 1.13-2.35). In stepwise models, SBP and DM at age 55, nsCVD at age 65, DM and stroke at ages 70 and 75, and DM, stroke, and use of antihypertensives (protective) at age 80 were the most important vascular risk factors for dementia. DISCUSSION: Our findings support the use of age-specific dementia risk scores, which should prioritize including, at age 55, SBP and DM; at age 65, nsCVD; at ages 70 and 75, DM and stroke; and at age 80, DM, stroke, and antihypertensive use.
