Cognitive decline in U.S. military veterans: risk factors and clinical implications.
Article in Frontiers in dementia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Military veterans have higher aggregate prevalence of risk factors for cognitive decline than non-veterans. This includes risk factors like diabetes, chronic pain, smoking, depression, and more. The disparity in prevalences is due in part to the unique experiences and exposures of their military service. Alzheimer's disease and other dementias are debilitating diseases with large financial and logistical burdens. These burdens are held by the patient, their family, friends, and caregivers, as well as healthcare professionals, and healthcare systems. Standardized screening for these risk factors may be helpful for understanding risk profiles that lead to cognitive decline. Additionally, screening must occur early to encourage early intervention and behavioral modifications and to reduce these burdens. This perspective presents the prevalence of risk factors for cognitive decline in the Veteran and non-veteran populations and proposes an approach to managing risk factors in Veterans.
