Neighborhood disadvantage and the incidence of dementia in US Black women.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
introductionWe investigated the association of neighborhood disadvantage with the incidence of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) in the longitudinal Black Women's Health Study (BWHS).
methodsThe study included 10,915 BWHS participants enrolled in Medicare for at least 1 year from 2012 to 2020. The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) was assigned to participant residential block groups over follow-up. ADRD cases were identified from Medicare files.
resultsAge- and education-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for ADRD increased as neighborhood disadvantage increased, to 1.42 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06-1.91) in the most disadvantaged quintile compared to the least disadvantaged quintile, with a significant linear trend (p = 0.012). Associations remained, although somewhat attenuated, when individual income was controlled. DISCUSSION: The present study adds to the evidence showing an association between living in a disadvantaged neighborhood and poorer brain health. The area-level association of deprivation with ADRD was in part explained by individual differences in socioeconomic status (SES). HIGHLIGHTS: The study assessed neighborhood deprivation in the largest cohort of US Black women. Cases of dementia were ascertained from Medicare claims files over 9 years of follow-up. Higher levels of area deprivation were associated with higher dementia risk.
