Psychological predictors of incident subjective cognitive complaints in community dwelling older adults.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundSubjective cognitive complaint (SCC) is associated with future cognitive decline and may be a marker for clinical intervention in the progression to dementia. Among the viable predictors of SCC, psychological factors are clinically relevant, non-invasive early indicators of older adults at elevated risk. This aim of this study is to determine whether psychological symptoms: dysphoria and apathy precede incident SCC in the dementia pathway.
methodsParticipants (
resultsOver a mean follow up of 1.90 years, 44 individuals (9.26%) developed incident SCC. Baseline apathy scale score was significantly associated with 4-fold increased risk of SCC (HR 4.39, 95%CI: 1.32-14.67), adjusted for cognition but not age and dysphoria scale score. Baseline dysphoria scale score was not associated with increased risk of SCC in adjusted analyses.
conclusionIn this longitudinal analysis of community dwelling older adults, apathy was associated with an increased risk of SCC, when adjusting for cognition but not dysphoria. Finally, this study highlights apathy as an early risk factor, which may precede SCC in the progression to dementia and consequently, may identify a high risk group for clinical screening and intervention.
