Plasma proteomics reveals molecular overlap between physical activity and dementia risk.
Article in Brain communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Physical activity (PA) is a modifiable lifestyle behaviour associated with lower dementia risk; however, molecular pathways bridging PA-related dementia prevention are poorly understood. We leveraged large-scale plasma proteomics to identify biological signatures of objectively monitored PA and cognitive ageing in functionally intact older adults, cross-validated these signatures in independent exercise cohorts and tested associations with both symptomatic and presymptomatic stages of neurodegeneration across multiple Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) cohorts. We analysed large-scale plasma proteomics data (SomaScan 7k) across three cohorts including naturalistic, objective PA monitoring (University of California, San Francisco Brain Aging Network for Cognitive Health cohort,
