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

introductionCardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is linked to dementia risk, but moderating factors remain unclear. This study examined how and when CRF in adulthood is associated with late-onset dementia (> 65 years) and whether sex, civil status, or education moderate this association.

methodsIn a cohort of 370,980 dementia-free individuals followed for a mean of 11.9 (standard deviation 6.0) years, CRF was estimated via a submaximal cycle test, with dementia incidence obtained from Swedish National Healthcare Registries.

resultsResults showed that high CRF was associated with lower dementia risk in those under age 55 (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.58, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.36-0.92) and those > 55 (HR: 0.75, 95% CI 0.63-0.89) at CRF assessment. Medium education levels moderate the association in individuals < 55 years. DISCUSSION: These findings underscore the role of maintaining a high CRF in dementia prevention, emphasizing education level as a critical moderating factor. Highlights: High cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is longitudinally associated with a lower risk of late-onset dementia.The association was evident in those both under and over age 55 at CRF assessment.Higher education levels moderated the relationship in those < 55 years.Sex and civil status did not moderate the association.
