Cardiovascular risk factors and the allostatic interoceptive network in dementia.
Article in Cardiovascular research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
aimsCardiovascular risk factors, such diabetes, hypertension, blood pressure, obesity, and smoking, are linked with allostatic-interoception-the continuous monitoring of internal bodily states in anticipation of environmental demands. These risk factors are associated with dementia risk. How these factors affect brain networks vulnerable to neurodegeneration and involved in allostatic-interoception, such as the Allostatic-Interoceptive Network (AIN), is unknown. We investigated the relationship between cardiovascular risk and AIN structure and function in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS AND
resultsWe recruited 1501 participants (304 with FTLD, 512 with AD, and 685 healthy controls) from the Multi-Partner Consortium to Expand Dementia Research in Latin America (ReDLat). A cardiovascular risk score was calculated based on: age, sex, diabetes, hypertension, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, and smoking status. Cardiovascular risk was associated with grey matter integrity and functional connectivity in age- and sex-matched patient-control groups focusing on predefined regions of interest within the AIN. Higher cardiovascular risk was associated with reduced structural integrity and functional connectivity within the AIN in both FTLD and AD. FTLD patients showed more extensive structural and functional connectivity disruptions throughout the AIN. In AD patients, structural reductions in the AIN were prominent, with functional connectivity restricted to the hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, and orbitofrontal regions.
conclusionCardiovascular risk factors appear to adversely impact the AIN structure and function, with disease-specific patterns of vulnerability. Results underscore the importance of integrating cardiovascular health into models of neurodegenerative disease and managing cardiovascular health to support brain integrity in dementia.
