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
Objective: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of dementia and its associated risk factors among older adults aged 65 years and above in Guangzhou, China. Methods: We conducted a community-based cross-sectional study involving 2,463 residents aged 65 years or older in Guangzhou, using a multi-stage whole-population random sampling method. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), with cutoff points adjusted by education level. Trained investigators collected information on demographic characteristics, health behavioral factors, and medical history through face-to-face interviews. Univariate analyses and multivariate logistic regression were performed to identify factors associated with dementia. Results: The prevalence of dementia was 14.94% among participants aged 65 and above, increasing from 13.30 to 34.58% across different age groups. Multivariate analysis showed that frequent falls (≥3 falls within the past year vs. no falls: Conclusion: Dementia is highly prevalent among older adults in Guangzhou, posing a substantial public health challenge. Our findings emphasize the need for early identification and targeted interventions, including the promotion of physical and cognitive activities, fall prevention strategies, and better management of chronic conditions such as stroke, depression, and hearing loss, to reduce dementia risk and burden in aging communities.
