Mid- and late-life depression increases risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in veterans.

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
introductionUsing 20-year data from the Veterans Health Administration's electronic health record, we explored associations between mid- and late-life depression with incident Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD).
methodsParticipants included Veterans with (
resultsDepression was associated with ADRD (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.36; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.35-1.38), with higher risk for mid-life depression (age at index date <60: HR = 2.56; 95% CI = 2.44-2.69) compared to late-life depression (age ≥60: HR = 1.70; 95% CI = 1.67-1.72). This association persisted regardless of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder status, but was especially strong for those with TBI prior to depression diagnosis. DISCUSSION: Findings emphasize the need to screen for cognitive changes in Veterans diagnosed with depression, especially those with mid-life depression.
