History of Senile Dementia from the Antiquity to the Beginning of the Modern Age.
Review in Current Alzheimer research, 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
aimsThis study aims, to trace the history of age-associated dementia from the earliest historical periods to the beginning of the modern age.
backgroundSince the medical literature prior to the early 19th century is relatively scarce, the near absence of senile dementia has been hypothesized.
objectiveVerify the prevalence of senile dementia across different historical periods.
methodsBeyond the medical literature, reviewed papers addressing legal and social aspects were examined to provide a comprehensive overview of the subject.
resultsWhile the medical literature on the subject is limited, there are a greater abundance of sources discussing social and legislative aspects. The scientific study of dementia had began only in the early 1800s.
conclusionIn ancient times, dementia was not particularly rare, but it was often overlooked, as it was considered an inevitable consequence of aging.
