Impact of dual sensory impairment on dementia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Hearing and vision loss are considered independent modifiable risk factors for dementia; however, the impact of their dual impairment is not clear and is crucial for preventive strategies. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis until July 23, 2024, to assess the association of dual sensory impairment (DSI) and dementia. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using random-effects models. Heterogeneity was assessed through subgroup analysis and meta-regression. Population attributable fractions (PAFs) for DSI were calculated. We included 11 studies. DSI was associated with a 52% increased hazard of developing all-cause dementia. Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia subtypes showed larger HRs. Heterogeneity was only high for AD. Meta-regressions showed non-significant associations. Overall PAF for DSI was 2.77%. DSI significantly increases the risk of dementia among adults. Comprehensive sensory assessments and interventions targeting both hearing and vision impairments are essential for effective dementia prevention strategies. Highlights: Dual sensory impairment (hearing and vision) increases dementia risk by 52%.Population attributable fraction of dual sensory impairment for dementia is 2.77%.Sensory assessments are crucial for dementia prevention strategies.
