Prevalence and Incidence of Dementia in Patients With Non-Overtly Functional Adrenal Tumours.
Article in Clinical endocrinology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo investigate the prevalence and incidence of dementia in patients with non-overtly functional adrenal tumours (NOFATs).
designA national retrospective register-based study was conducted on patients diagnosed with NOFAT and controls diagnosed between 2005 and 2019, in Sweden. Individuals diagnosed with overt adrenal hormone excess or previous malignancies were excluded. Sensitivity analyses were performed in subgroups with a combination of gallbladder/biliary tract/pancreatic disease. and acute appendicitis, as well as 3- and 12-months of malignancy-free survival. MEASUREMENTS: Prevalence and incidence of dementia. The secondary outcomes were Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.
resultsAmong 20,390 cases, 12,120 (59.4%) were women, and the median (IQR) age was 66 (57-73) years. Among the 125,392 controls, 69,994 (55.8%) were women and the median (IQR) age was 66 (57-73) years. Patients with NOFATs had a lower prevalence of dementia compared to controls (odds ratio [OR] 0.58, 95% CI 0.50-0.68, adjusted OR [aOR] 0.47, 95% CI 0.40-0.56). During the follow-up period (median 4.9 years, IQR 2.2-8.2), incidence of dementia was similar in NOFATs and controls (hazard ratio [HR] 1.05, 95% CI 0.97-1.15, adjusted HR [aHR] 1.06, 95% CI 0.97-1.15). Similar results obtained for Alzheimer's dementia (aOR 0.44, 95% CI 0.34-0.57; aHR 0.94, 95% CI 0.80-1.10) and vascular dementia (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.52-0.94, aOR 0.48, 95% CI 0.35-0.64; HR 1.29, 95% CI 1.08-1.53, aHR 1.13, 95% CI 0.95-1.35) as well as in the sensitivity analyses. Adrenalectomy did not change the results.
conclusionNOFAT was not associated with an increased risk of dementia.
