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

introductionThe Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) may improve timely detection of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), yet little is known about the frequency of follow-up on patient-reported memory concerns during the AWV.

methodsWe use electronic medical record (EMR) data from an academic health system to examine EMR-documented follow-up actions for patients with newly reported memory concerns on the AWV health risk assessment, including formal cognitive assessment or specialist referrals.

resultsThe 1411 patients with newly reported memory concerns were predominantly white (70%) and female (63%), with an average age of 78 (SD 7.5). At the AWV, few patients received a cognitive assessment (5.4%; n = 76), specialist referral (2.1%; n = 30), or both (0.4%; n = 6). In adjusted analyses, we did not observe statistically significant differences by sociodemographic characteristics. DISCUSSION: This EMR-based study highlights an opportunity to better leverage the AWV to improve ADRD detection and care.
