Incidence of New Dementia Diagnosis in Veterans Admitted to Nursing Homes After Heart Failure Hospitalization.
Article in Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHospitalization with heart failure (HF) may signal an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Nursing homes routinely assess cognition but the association of these results with new ADRD diagnosis in a population at high risk of ADRD is not known.
objectiveTo determine the association between nursing home cognitive assessment results and new diagnosis of dementia after heart failure hospitalization.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included Veterans hospitalized for HF and discharged to nursing homes, from 2010 to 2015, without a prior diagnosis of ADRD. We determined mild, moderate, or severe cognitive impairment using multiple items of the nursing home admission assessment. We used Cox regression to determine the association of cognitive impairment with new ADRD diagnosis during 365 days of follow-up.
resultsThe cohort included 7,472 residents, new diagnosis of ADRD occurred in 4,182 (56%). The adjusted hazard ratio of ADRD diagnosis was 4.5 (95% CI 4.2, 4.8) for the mild impairment group, 5.4 (95% CI 4.8, 5.9) for moderate impairment, and 4.0 (95% CI 3.2, 5.0) for severe impairment compared to the cognitively intact group.
conclusionNew ADRD diagnoses occurred in more than half of Veterans with HF admitted to nursing homes for post-acute care.
