1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionResearch on dementia in centenarians is scarce. This study assesses the 2024 Lancet Commission risk factors for dementia in Colombian centenarians.

methodsThe Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB), Mini-Mental State Examination, and Barthel Index were evaluated in Colombian centenarians. A preserved cognitive-functional phenotype (PCFP), defined by a CDR-SB <2 and a Barthel index ≥60, was utilized to signify the absence of dementia based on cognitive screening instruments. Associations with age-related clinical variables were assessed through multivariate analyses.

resultsAmong 160 centenarians, 63.7% did not meet the PCFP criteria and were classified as having dementia. Frailty, alcohol intake, and depression were linked to dementia, while physical performance, nutritional status, and quality of life were associated with PCFP. Physical activity, education, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and smoking showed no significant associations. DISCUSSION: Traditional dementia risk factors were not universally confirmed in centenarians, underscoring the need for prevention strategies tailored to specific settings. HIGHLIGHTS: Dementia risk factors act differently in Colombian centenarians. Frailty and malnutrition strongly linked to dementia in centenarians. Preserved cognitive-functional phenotype identified in 36% of centenarians. Quality of life and physical performance protect against cognitive decline. Classical risk factors (education, hypertension, diabetes) showed no effect.
