Associations between neuropsychiatric symptoms and motoric cognitive risk syndrome.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2025. 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
introductionWe examined the association between neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) and motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR), a predementia condition indicating a higher risk for dementia.
methodsA sample of 2800 older adults (≥ 65 years) was analyzed using binomial logistic regression to investigate the cross-sectional relationship between specific NPS and MCR. Additionally, a longitudinal analysis involving 1352 adults explored whether baseline NPS predicted incident MCR risk.
resultsSubjects with MCR exhibited higher prevalence of NPS. The most common NPS in MCR were affective symptoms: apathy (71.5%), anxiety (55.4%), and depression (45.7%). The prevalence of specific NPS in MCR was higher for hallucinations (OR = 1.76, 95% CI = 1.23-2.51), sleep impairment (OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 1.14-1.73), apathy (OR = 3.31, 95% CI = 2.67-4.10), delusions (OR = 1.88, 95% CI = 1.25-2.84), irritability (OR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.56-2.53), depression (OR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.49-1.98), and anxiety (OR = 1.92, 95% CI = 1.62-2.28). Longitudinally, baseline apathy (OR = 1.68, 95% CI = 1.17-2.42), depression (OR = 1.70, 95% CI = 1.31-2.21), and anxiety (OR = 1.68, 95% CI = 1.23-2.31) significantly predicted incident MCR (p < 0.005).
conclusionsFindings suggest that apathy, depression, and anxiety are predictive of MCR, underscoring the importance of NPS screening in identifying individuals at risk. Early detection could facilitate the development of interventions to prevent dementia.
