Delusion of pregnancy: an unusual symptom in the context of dementia.
Review in American journal of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundDelusions can complicate practically all brain disorders. They may be dramatic and bizarre. An example is the so-called delusion of pregnancy.
objectiveTo identify the characteristic of a psychotic symptom, the phenomenon of delusion of pregnancy, in the context of dementia.
methodMEDLINE and Google Scholar searches were conducted for relevant articles, chapters, and books published before 2014. Search terms used included delusion of pregnancy, uncommon presentation, behavioral and psychological symptoms, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Publications found through this indexed search were reviewed for further relevant references. We included case reports that highlight the relationship and overlap between dementia presenting as schizophrenia-like psychosis and schizophrenia.
resultsLiterature on delusion of pregnancy in the course of dementia consists mostly of case reports and small samples of patients.
conclusionPsychotic phenomena such as delusion of pregnancy may be a feature in some cases of dementia. If this bizarre features of dementia appears as early presentation of FTD whose usual onset is in the presenium, it may be mistaken for schizophrenia.
