1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: Few studies have investigated associations between perceived social determinants of health (SDOH) and Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) biomarkers or between SDOH and resilience against ADRD. Objective: To examine associations between perceived and objective SDOH and ADRD-related outcomes. Methods: We used cross-sectional data on≥50-year-olds without dementia in the Healthy Brain Initiative (n = 162). Questionnaires captured trust in neighbors and indices of perceived neighborhood greenspace access, time spent in neighborhood greenspaces, and interpersonal discrimination. Residential addresses were linked to 2021 Area Deprivation Index scores. The Vulnerability Index (VI) is based on 12 dementia risk factors (e.g., age, race/ethnicity, diabetes) and Resilience Index (RI) is based on 6 protective factors (e.g., diet, mindfulness, physical activity). Cognitive measured included number symbol coding task and Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Biomarkers included Aβ Results: Perceived greater access to greenspaces (estimate = 2.83, 95% CI = 1.40-4.26) and greater time in neighborhood greenspaces were associated with greater RI scores (estimate = 2.30, 95% CI = 1.24-3.35). Reporting greater discrimination (estimate = 0.10, 95% CI = 0.04-0.16) and living in higher deprivation neighborhoods were associated with greater VI scores (estimate = 0.017, 95% CI = 0.003-0.032). Greater discrimination was associated with greater white matter hyperintensity volume (estimate = 0.27, 95% CI = 0.04-0.51). Conclusions: Perceived greenspace access and time spent in greenspaces were associated with resilience against ADRD, and interpersonal discrimination was associated with vulnerability to ADRD. Future work needs to validate perceived SDOH measures, examine associations in racially/ethnic diverse populations, and investigate longitudinal associations between SDOH and ADRD-related biomarkers.
