Birth Rate as a Determinant of Dementia Incidence: A Comprehensive Global Analysis.
Article in American journal of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. 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
backgroundThe role of parity in predicting dementia risk in women is debated. This study examines how birth rate affects global dementia incidence.
methodsCountry-specific data on birth rate and dementia incidence rate were analyzed using bivariate analysis, partial correlation, and multiple linear regression. Confounding factors such as aging, affluence, genetic predisposition (I
resultsPearson's r and nonparametric analyzes showed a significant inverse correlation between birth rate and dementia incidence. This relationship remained significant after controlling for aging, affluence, I
conclusionsLower birth rate is an independent risk factor for dementia, particularly in developed countries. These findings highlight the importance of considering birth rate in dementia studies.
