1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundModifiable risk factors play a central role in the development and course of neurodegenerative disorders of later life, including dementias. Although past research has focused on independent associations of modifiable risk factors, including cardiovascular disease risk factors using Framingham cardiovascular risk score, physical activity, dietary quality, body mass index, and sleep, on neurodegeneration, the impact of all 5 factors simultaneously in a multimodal model has not been studied. We examined independent associations and an overall combined model with 5 modifiable risk factors with white matter injury, a recognized risk factor for dementia, ≈10 years later in a diverse Hispanic/Latino population.

methodsParticipants were from the HCHS/SOL (Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos) Investigation of Nerocognitive Aging-Magnetic Resonance Imaging longitudinal study (n=2667; clinical visit 1 mean age, 52.01 [8.90] years). We conducted path and mediation analyses across 5 modifiable risk factors obtained at clinical visit 1 (2008-2011) and 2 measures of white matter injury (free water and white matter hyperintensity volume) obtained at the magnetic resonance imaging visit (2018-2022; mean age, 62.37 [9.23] years). We controlled for age at the time of the dependent variable, sex, education, Hispanic/Latino heritage, overall cognitive status, and b-value when free water was included.

resultsWe observed 11 significant independent associations across modifiable risk factors and white matter injury measures. The association of Framingham cardiovascular risk score to white matter hyperintensity volume was mediated by free water (indirect mediation: β=2.473; SE=0.207;

conclusionsOur findings identified how modifiable risk factors synergistically influence future white matter injury in Hispanic/Latino populations. Such multimodal models may lead to the development of novel and personalized lifestyle clinical interventions for adults at risk for dementia due to elevated white matter hyperintensity volume.
