Lower birth rate, greater female dementia risk: global and regional patterns and public health implications.
Article in Future science OA, 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 investigates the relationship between national birth rate and female dementia incidence globally, considering demographic and socioeconomic confounders. MATERIALS &
methodsData from 204 countries were analyzed using bivariate correlation, partial correlation, principal component analysis, and multiple linear regression. Female dementia incidence rate (FDIR) was the dependent variable. Birth rate served as the main predictor, with ageing (life expectancy), genetic predisposition (Biological State Index), economic affluence (GDP PPP), and urban living as confounders.
resultsBirth rate demonstrated a significant inverse correlation with female dementia incidence (Pearson's
conclusionsLower birth rates were strongly associated with higher female dementia incidence globally. Birth rate should be considered a critical demographic factor in dementia risk prediction and public health planning, particularly in ageing and low-resource settings.
