Psychological outcomes of dementia risk estimation in MCI patients: Results from the PreDADQoL project.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionUnderstanding the impact of biomarker-based dementia risk estimation in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and their care partners is critical for patient care.
methodsMCI patients and study partners were counseled on Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarker and dementia risk was disclosed. Data on mood, quality of life (QoL), and satisfaction with life (SwL) were obtained 1 week and 3 months after disclosure.
resultsSeventy-five dyads were enrolled, and two-thirds of the patients opted for biomarker testing. None of the participants experienced clinically relevant depression or anxiety after disclosure. All dyads reported moderate to high QoL and SwL throughout the study. Patients reported more subthreshold depressive symptoms 1 week and lower QoL and SwL 3 months after disclosure. In patients, depression (odds ratio [OR]: 0.76) and anxiety (OR: 0.81) were significant predictors for the decision against biomarker testing. DISCUSSION: No major psychological harm is to be expected in MCI patients and care partners after dementia risk disclosure.
trial registrationThis study is registered in the German clinical trials register (Deutsches Register Klinischer Studien, DRKS): http://www.drks.de/DRKS00011155, DRKS registration number: DRKS00011155, date of registration: 18.08.2017. HIGHLIGHTS: Patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and study partners were counseled on Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarker-based dementia risk estimation. About two-thirds of patients opted for biomarker testing and received their dementia risk based on their AD biomarker status. Patients who decided in favor or against CSF biomarker testing differed in psychological features. We did not observe major psychological harm after the dementia risk disclosure. Coping strategies were associated with better subsequent mood and well-being in all participants.
