Declining incidence but little change in years lived with dementia in two German cohorts diagnosed with dementia in 2006/2008 and 2016/2018.

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
backgroundWe examined whether changes in dementia incidence and mortality have led to changes in the average number of years lived with and without dementia over a ten-year period in Germany.
methodsWe calculated dementia rates using two samples of people aged 65 + from a German health insurance company, each comprising more than 100,000 people in 2006/08 and 2016/18. We examined time trends using negative binomial regression models and estimated average life expectancy (ALE) for people with and without dementia by fitting a three-stage Markov health-disease model.
resultsDementia incidence rates decreased by 7.3% in men and by 9.7% in women. Dementia mortality rates fell by 12% in men but did not change significantly in women. Non-dementia mortality rates fell by 7% in both men and women. The combined changes resulted in stable total ALE in men and increasing total ALE in women, whereas ALE with dementia increased in men and remained stable in women.
conclusionsThe observed decline in dementia incidence did not translate into a reduction in the burden of the disease.
