Inspiring Undergraduate Student Training in Alzheimer's Research (USTAR): Training the Next Generation of Aging Scientists.
Article in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 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
Inspiring Undergraduate Student Training in Alzheimer's Research (USTAR) aims to provide Underrepresented Minority (URM) undergraduate students with mentored didactic, clinical, and research experiences to stimulate interest in research related to Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). USTAR specifically focuses on social determinants of health (SDOH) as risk factors for ADRD minoritized populations. USTAR's scientific rationale is that URM undergraduates are less likely to enter the biomedical workforce. Addressing this disparity is important since minorities are disproportionally affected by ADRD, and URM scientists may deeply appreciate the sociocultural forces that create racial health disparities. USTAR unites faculty expertise from Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) and Delaware State University (DSU), a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). The faculty's work spans the full spectrum of ADRD research and care, including neuroscience, biology, gerontology, geriatrics, neurology, and geriatric psychiatry. The 20-month USTAR program will train two cohorts of 10 students. Across all USTAR activities, we emphasize the relationship between SDOH and cognition. USTAR's goals are to: (1) provide interdisciplinary ADRD-related research, educational, clinical, and community experiences; (2) enhance research skills via group research projects; (3) facilitate transition from undergraduate to graduate studies in science; and (4) evaluate USTAR's effectiveness. USTAR has the potential to increase diversity in the national workforce that conducts health disparities research pertaining to ADRD. This goal aligns with the National Institute on Aging's (NIA) mission to meet the nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs and to ensure health equity for all Americans.
