A community-based model for multimodal brain-health screening and Alzheimer's disease and related dementia risk prediction in mid-sized cities and surrounding rural communities: a mixed-methods evaluation.
Article in Innovation in aging, 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
Background and Objectives: Rural adults (those residing in nonmetropolitan counties) face persistent barriers to brain-health assessment that may help prevent or delay cognitive decline. This study reports protocol and pilot feasibility findings from year 1 of a 3-year longitudinal project evaluating Building a Rural Aging and Intervention Network: Factors that Impact Trajectories (BRAIN-FIT), a community-embedded program to improve access to multidomain screening and awareness of modifiable dementia risk factors. Research Design and Methods: Using a mixed-methods design, 119 adults aged 45 or older completed a single-day interdisciplinary screening incorporating clinical-standard measures (cardiovascular, physical, lifestyle, social-emotional, sensory, cognitive, and speech-language health), followed by individualized-results review. 63 participants completed a 4-week post-event behavior change evaluation. Results: BRAIN-FIT, delivered across 7 community sites in 3 cities through 18 events, enrolled 163 adults (aged 46-95; Discussion and Implications: Community-embedded multimodal screening appears to be a viable program for identifying actionable brain-health risk prior to substantial decline. By reaching diverse adults outside traditional care pathways, BRAIN-FIT advances a pragmatic population-health approach to dementia prevention. Longitudinal follow-up will evaluate sustained behavior change, strengthen referral integration, and inform hybrid effectiveness-implementation trials to promote healthier aging trajectories.
