South Asian, Black and White ethnicity and the effect of potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia: A study in English electronic health records.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
introductionWe aimed to investigate ethnic differences in the associations of potentially modifiable risk factors with dementia.
methodsWe used anonymised data from English electronic primary care records for adults aged 65 and older between 1997 and 2018. We used Cox regression to investigate main effects for each risk factor and interaction effects between each risk factor and ethnicity.
resultsWe included 865,674 people with 8,479,973 person years of follow up. Hypertension, dyslipidaemia, obesity and diabetes were more common in people from minority ethnic groups than White people. The impact of hypertension, obesity, diabetes, low HDL and sleep disorders on dementia risk was increased in South Asian people compared to White people. The impact of hypertension was greater in Black compared to White people. DISCUSSION: Dementia prevention efforts should be targeted towards people from minority ethnic groups and tailored to risk factors of particular importance.
