Perceptions of cognitive decline among American Indian and Alaska Native elders.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionAmerican Indian and Alaska Native elders aged ≥ 65 years are experiencing increased life expectancy. Elders are critical to intergenerational knowledge, yet limited data exist on the health challenges faced by this group.
methodsThis study engaged individuals attending the National Indian Council on Aging 2021 Annual Meeting in Reno, Nevada. A 19-question survey, designed to examine perceptions about cognitive decline and to identify comfort with potential risk and protective factors, was disseminated to 50 participants.
resultsParticipants indicated that they are concerned about cognitive decline, are willing to plan for their future care and cognitive testing, and articulated a desire for Tribally led long-term support services. DISCUSSION: This study found similar results to studies on White individuals, which include a lack of knowledge, stigma around the aging process, and gaps in services available. More work is necessary to address the gap in literature and policy. Highlights: American Indian and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) are underrepresented in literature on Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD).AI/ANs believe that they will experience cognitive decline as they age.AI/ANs indicate a willingness to plan for future care and participate in future research on ADRD.
